Ice-Time In Question
Fans can't wait to see this mask in action. Although expected to be the third goalie behind Ilya Samsonov and Joseph Woll, injuries might see Jones take to the ice more frequently this season. Last season with the Kraken, Jones posted a commendable 27-13-3 record, with a 2.99 goals-against average, a .887 save percentage, and secured three shutouts. Having been in the NHL since 2013, Jones has played for the Flyers, Sharks, Kings, and Kraken, accumulating 225 wins over his career.
