2016-17 Season in Review: Martin Jones

Martin Jones was not as good in his second season in teal as he was in his first. Once again relied upon for 65 starts, Jones’ save percentage dropped from .918 to .912 and his goals against average increased from 2.27 to 2.40.

This was largely attributable to a precipitous drop in even strength save percentage (.925 to .915, according to Hockey Reference). Jones’ faced more high danger chances than he did last season, and stopped a lower percentage (81.90 HDSV%, -1.66% from 2015-16 per Corsica).

Yet once again, Jones raised his game in the playoffs, where he was arguably the Sharks’ best player.
