Sharks acquire goalie Martin Jones from Bruins (The Associated Press)

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- The San Jose Sharks have found their starting goaltender for next season, acquiring Martin Jones in a trade with the Boston Bruins.

The Sharks sent a 2016 first-round pick and unsigned forward prospect Sean Kuraly to the Bruins for Jones on Tuesday.

Jones had a short tenure in Boston, having been dealt from the Los Angeles Kings to the Bruins last Friday during the draft in a package for left wing Milan Lucic.

Finding a No. 1 goalie had been one of the top priorities for the Sharks this offseason as they look to get to the postseason after having their 10-year playoff run snapped this past season.
