SAN JOSE — One week ago in the wake of a Sharks win over the Vancouver Canucks, interim coach Bob Boughner made a pair of decisions.
One, he was starting Aaron Dell for the team’s next game against the Arizona Coyotes. Two, he wanted to give Martin Jones a few days to work closely with new goaltending coach Evgeni Nabokov.
The time has arrived to see if the work has paid off, as Jones will start Saturday when the Sharks host the defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues.
“A good opportunity for me to get some good practice time in,” Jones said of the last few days.
