If the LA Kings fail to make the postseason, look no further than these games against the San Jose Sharks as the reason why.
Former LA Kings netminder Martin Jones loves playing against his old team, proven by his 17-5-3 career record against Los Angeles. Entering Friday night’s matchup, the 31-year-old was averaging 3.00 GAA over his last four games. However, he stopped all 30 shots against the Kings in San Jose’s 3-0 shutout win.
“It is a hot goaltender obviously, he’s playing really well against us,” Kings head coach Todd McLellan said in the postgame Zoom call.
