LOS ANGELES -- When the Sharks practiced on Monday at the Los Angeles Kings’ facility in El Segundo, they did so underneath two gigantic team photos of the 2012 and 2014 Stanley Cup champions.
The second of those photos is more notable from a Sharks standpoint. It’s not only the team that they surrendered a 3-0 first round lead to that was staring down at them from above, but it features the player that may be most responsible for helping them try and move on from that low point in franchise history.
Martin Jones didn’t play much in those playoffs, getting into just two games, including the Sharks’ Game 1 rout.
