Philadelphia Flyers goalie Martin Jones, the only goalie to lead the San Jose Sharks to the Stanley Cup Final, entered Thursday with a 6-4-1 record and a .911 save percentage
SAN JOSE – Buying out the final three years of Martin Jones’ contract in July was an unpleasant but necessary decision Sharks management felt it needed to make to try and upgrade the goaltending position.
“He’s a good goalie. He’s had a lot of success in the NHL,” Couture said of Jones. “Sometimes for a year or two things don’t go your way, you have down years and for him, a fresh start was probably very welcoming.”Over six seasons with the Sharks from 2015 to 2021, Jones, 31, was the NHL’s most active goalie with a regular-season record of 170-121-27, and he remains the only netminder to lead the team to the Stanley Cup Final.
“I’m sure he’s got a lot of great memories and a lot of guys obviously that played with him and share those memories with him,” Couture said. “Happy to see him doing well.” Jones’ deal with the Sharks had an average annual value of $5.75 million and buyout saved the Sharks roughly $3.83 million in valuable salary-cap space for this season, money the team used to sign James Reimer to a two-year, $4.5 million deal on July 28.
The Sharks’ team save percentage last season was .891 between Jones, Devan Dubnyk, Josef Korenar, and Alexei Melnichuk.
