SAN JOSE — Sharks goalie Aaron Dell is still projected at the moment to be the backup to Martin Jones this season. There’s little question, though, that Dell needs a return to form after a disappointing year in 2018-19.
Dell, 30, had a 10-8-4 record and a .886 save percentage last season, a considerable drop-off from the numbers he posted the year before when he was 15-5-4 with a .914 save percentage.
Some of that, of course, had to do with the skaters around him and the more wide-open style the Sharks were incorporating. Still, Dell posted consecutive wins in starts just twice all season.
