PITTSBURGH -- The goaltenders have been the story of these playoffs, over and over and over again. Matt Murray and Marc-Andre Fleury. Brian Elliott and Jake Allen. Ben Bishop and Andrei Vasilevskiy. Kari Lehtonen and Antti Niemi. Whether by virtue of injury or performance or both, teams have had to rely on starters and backups and starters as backups and backups as starters.
Not the Sharks.
In what has been a rarity this season, the Sharks have relied almost totally on Martin Jones - in his first season as a starter, no less - as they've made it through the gauntlet of the Western Conference playoffs all the way to the franchise's first Stanley Cup Final.
