Jones gave up four goals on 20 shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Jones lasted a little more than halfway through the game, but Marcus Foligno's tally gave the Wild a 4-1 lead. Head coach Bob Boughner inserted Devan Dubnyk in place of Jones, with the latter responsible for the loss. The 31-year-old Jones has a 6-5-1 record with a 3.39 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 12 appearances. There's little reason for fantasy managers in standard formats to trust the Canadian netminder, especially in a tough matchup with the Golden Knights on Thursday, which may see Dubnyk get the starting nod instead.

Jones will protect the home goal in Monday's game versus the Wild, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was quite impressive in his last two starts, recording a .932 save percentage and a 1-0-1 record. Those efforts were preceded by a shaky start to the season, where Jones recorded an .867 save percentage and a 5-4-0 record. Despite the inconsistencies, he's draws a decent matchup Monday. The Wild are still a defensive team, and they've averaged just 2.77 goals per game this year (21st in the league).

Jones gave up three goals on 45 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was 40 seconds away from a win before Brayden Schenn tallied in the third period to tie the game. In overtime, Patrick Marleau took a hooking penalty, and David Perron beat Jones to complete the Sharks' collapse. The 31-year-old Jones slipped to 6-4-1 with a 3.17 GAA and an .897 save percentage after a relatively solid game. In 11 outings, he's only limited opponents to two or fewer goals twice,. Jones has been relatively solid recently with eight goals conceded on 98 shots over his last three appearances.

Jones will defend the blue paint during Thursday's road game versus the Blues, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was solid in his last start Monday against the Ducks, stopping 26 of 28 shots en route to a 3-2 victory. He'll try to secure his seventh win of the season in a road matchup with a St. Louis squad that's 3-3-2 at home this year.

Jones stopped 26 of 28 shots in a 3-2 win over the Ducks on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones had a 3-1 lead to protect entering the third period, but he allowed a goal to Maxime Comtois two minutes into the final frame. The Ducks applied pressure with nine shots in the third, but Jones made the lead stand. He improved to 6-4-0 with a 3.75 GAA and an .873 save percentage through 10 outings. Jones will remain the main option in goal for the Sharks as long as Devan Dubnyk (lower body) is out.

Jones will be between the pipes at home versus the Ducks on Monday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was shelled in his previous two outings to the tune of nine goals on 52 shots (.827 save percentage). Unfortunately for the Sharks, with Devan Dubnyk still recovering from a lower-body injury, the club doesn't have better options in the crease. Once Dubnyk is cleared to play, he will likely split the starts with Jones moving forward.

Jones stopped 23 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
All three Vegas goals were scored with San Jose down a man, giving Jones little chance to make a difference on an afternoon when the Sharks' offense was sputtering. The veteran netminder hasn't allowed fewer than three goals in any of his last six appearances and has only done so once all season, saddling him with a 3.96 GAA and .867 save percentage despite a palatable 5-4-0 record.

Jones is in line to start between the pipes in Saturday's home game versus Vegas, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones struggled mightily in his last start Thursday against the Kings, surrendering six goals on just 26 shots en route to a 6-2 defeat. The 31-year-old backstop will attempt to bounce back and pick up his sixth win of the season in a tough road matchup with a Golden Knights club that's 7-1-1 at home this year.

Jones gave up six goals on 26 shots in a 6-2 loss to the Kings on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was pulled after the sixth goal, allowing Alexei Melnichuk to make his NHL debut. After the game, head coach Bob Boughner voiced his displeasure, saying that Thursday's performance was "not up to [the Sharks'] standard," Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports. Persistent struggles have been the story with Jones for much of the last few seasons. He dropped to 5-3-0 with a 4.09 GAA and an .865 save percentage after Thursday's dud. A starting goalie for Saturday's game versus the West Division-leading Golden Knights has yet to be named.

Jones will patrol the blue paint in Thursday's road game against the Kings, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones is riding a two-game winning streak despite giving up seven goals on his 64 shots during that span. The 31-year-old has struggled since the start of the season, posting a .878 save percentage and 3.70 GAA. Still, he's 5-2-0 and has a chance at a third straight win.
