May the force be with you, Martin Jones. On Star Wars night at the Shark Tank, Martin Jones’ 31 saves were the difference in a 2-1 win for the Sharks (15-9-1) over the Montreal Canadiens (16-6-2).
The Sharks would waste little time in scoring their first goal. On their first power play of the night, Brent Burns’ bullet slap shot was more than enough to get past Carey Price.
They would continue to dominate throughout the first period, and would add to their lead in the final minute. Carrying the puck down the left wing, Thornton found an eager Joe Pavelski in front of the net.
