Martin Jones Blanks Penguins On Thursday
6 years agoSan Jose Sharks goaltender Martin Jones was perfect in his team's 4-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday - stopping all 26 shots to earn his 29th win of the season. The strong performance highlights that Jones is beginning to turn things around in the month of February - winning six of eight starts while posting a .247 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage. It's been a promising sign for fantasy owners that shelled out an average 40th overall draft pick this fall, only to see their expected number-one netminder record a disappointing 2.89 GAA and .898 SVP thus far. Fortunately, San Jose boasts a dangerous lineup in front of Jones that has led to the 29-year-old sitting tied for first in the league with 29 wins. Considering his recent play, Jones looks to be a solid starting option for Saturday when he takes on the Blue Jackets.
