3. Martin Jones

Martin Jones is the adorable face of today’s franchise.  His smile pleases not only Sharks’ fans, but all hockey enthusiasts. Jones is the backbone of this team in his young career and has a promising future ahead of him after signing a six-year contract with the Sharks worth $5.75 million annually.

Jones has helped the Sharks reach the playoffs in his first three years tending the twine. Jones, acquired during the 2015 draft via Boston through the LA Kings (hockey is hard guys) was the first goaltender to lead the Sharks to a Western Conference Championship. Jones holds an impressive 2.12 GAA and .926 save percentage in 40 postseason games.

Jones has been just as splendid during the regular season. The 28-year-old netminder owns a 103-71-16 record,  2.41 GAA, and .914 save percentage. His 12 shutouts are third most among San Jose Sharks goaltenders and his goals against average and save percentage put him in the top 10 as well.

Jones’ best campaign came in 2015-2016 when he went 35-23-5 and posted a 2.27 GAA, .918 save percentage, and a season-high six shutouts.

Jones continues to make jaw-dropping saves and come up clutch in big games. The native of Vancouver, British Columbia stands as one of the best goaltenders in the league.

There’s high hopes for Jones to hold down the fort for this team all season long and carry San Jose deep through the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season.
