It’s the Martin Jones and Evander Kanes that could make the difference between another second-round exit or a deep post-season run for the San Jose Sharks.
In big and small ways, both Jones and Kane brought their best in last night’s 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights.
There was nothing bigger than Jones’s 36 saves, on his birthday no less. After a very slow start to the season, Jones appears to have normalized his game. Since Dec. 2, he has registered an 11-2-1 record with a solid .917 save percentage.
