Jones stopped 33 of 39 shots in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
While there's no sugar-coating a six-spot, Jones did stand tall after the Caps took a 6-4 lead early in the third period, giving the Sharks a chance to mount a comeback. There's little to like about the netminder's current form, however -- Jones has given up at least five goals in three straight starts, leaving him with a 2,98 GAA and .895 save percentage on the season, by far the worst numbers of his career.

Jones will start in goal on the road Tuesday evening versus the Capitals, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post repots.
EDGE Analysis
Jones' career numbers are about the same at home as they are on the road, but he's been spectacular against the Capitals, as evidenced by a 4-2-0 record, 1.51 GAA, .944 save percentage and a pair of shutouts. The defending Stanley Cup champions are only averaging 29.5 shots per game -- 23rd in the league -- but only seven teams are scoring more than the Caps (3.31), including the Sharks and their 3.53 rate to rank third overall.

Jones was pulled in the third period after allowing five goals on 21 shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has now allowed 11 goals while facing just 47 shots in his last two outings immediately following an eight-game winning streak. His GAA has jumped to 2.89 along with an ugly .897 save percentage. Jones likely won't be back in the net until after the All-Star break, giving him plenty of time to fix his game.

Jones will be in net Monday against the Panthers, Doug Plagens of the Florida Panthers' Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones is coming off a loss in his last start, the first time the Sharks' netminder had dropped a decision over a nine-game stretch. Jones, since Dec. 27, is 8-1-0 and will be hoping to add to Florida's recent woes, as the Panthers have won just three times in their last 10 games.

Jones made 20 saves in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Jones failed in his bid for a ninth-straight win, but he was in tough -- the Bolts are the NHL's elite. And they rang him up for six goals, the same number Jones had allowed in total in four previous games combined. This was just an outlier -- Jones will rebound just fine next game.

Jones will go to work against the Lightning in Tampa on Saturday, Corey Long of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
San Jose's top netminder is in pursuit of his ninth straight victory, having knocked off a plethora of punchy offensive clubs over the heater, including the Avalanche, Penguins, and even this Bolts team back on Jan. 5. It's awfully tempting to keep going back to well with Jones, but there inevitably will be goalies with far better matchups for DFS purposes.

Jones will be on puck patrol versus the visiting Penguins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This isn't a shocking development when you consider that Jones is taking aim at his eighth consecutive win. San Jose's chief puck plugger will now be challenged by a Penguins team that ranks fourth in the league in scoring at 3.56 goals per game, just one spot ahead of Team Teal and its 3.55 rate.

Jones stopped 27 of 28 shots Saturday, helping his team pick up a 4-1 win over Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Jones is far from the most consistent goaltender around, but his owners were pretty pleased with his past three contests, where he's let in just four goals and handled both light and heavy workloads with ease. However, owners should proceed with caution: this marked the first time all year he has posted a save percentage above .925 in three consecutive games. That suggests his next rough night is coming, and given that Pittsburgh is the next opponent in the Shark Tank, it might be wise to go out on Jones' next start and come back against an easier opponent.

Jones will be the home starter for Saturday's game versus the Senators, Sheng Peng of the Professional Hockey Writers Association reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones is seeking his seventh straight win against the Senators, who lit him up for five goals during a Dec. 1 loss. He has been solid but not phenomenal during his winning streak, recording a .911 save percentage and 2.51 GAA. The Senators have a surprisingly high-scoring offense for their place in the standings, ranking 10th in the league with 3.16 goals per game. Jones' bumpy play can cause stress for owners opting to start him.

Jones allowed just two goals on 38 shots versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday and registered his 20th win of the year.
EDGE Analysis
Jones is riding a six-game winning streak in which he posted a 2.51 GAA and .911 save percentage. The netminder is on pace to his the 60-game mark for the fourth consecutive season and could push for 40 wins for the first time in his career. With two back-to-backs on the schedule before the All-Star break, the 28-year-old could get some extra rest before the final stretch.
