NEWARK –- A little more than one week into his Sharks career, Martin Jones is already setting records.
The 25-year-old goalie, who has started all four Sharks games, has set a new franchise record shutout streak. Just 45 seconds into the first period against New Jersey on Friday, Jones broke counterpart Alex Stalock’s mark of 178:55 set between Jan. 5 – 27, 2014.
The Sharks set a new team shutout mark a little less than 13 minutes into the first period, too. The previous record of 190:51 was set between Jan. 23 – Feb. 2, 2012, with Antti Niemi and Thomas Greiss each seeing time in net over that span.
