VANCOUVER, B.C. — Martin Jones isn’t in crisis mode. Even if he was, it would be a challenge to get a read on the normally stoic goaltender’s emotions.
But with just four games left in the regular season, starting with Sunday’s game in Vancouver against the Canucks, there’s as much urgency on Jones to get his game in order as any player on the Sharks roster.
The Sharks might rediscover how to chip in another goal or two per game or tighten things up at the defensive end before the start of the playoffs, but they won’t be going very far in the playoffs without good goaltending.
