Maple Leafs’ Martin Jones: Thrust into duty after injury

Woll #Woll

Jones was thrust into duty Thursday when starter Joseph Woll had to be helped off the ice in the third period. He made nine saves in relief.

It was Jones’ first action as a Maple Leaf. Jones delivered a 27-13-3 record in Seattle last season, but he did it on the back of a 2.99 GAA and .887 save percentage. The Brick Woll is headed for an MRI and potentially some significant time out, so Jones could be about to get the test of his career as a platoon-mate with Ilya Samsonov (illness). Snap Jones up, but use caution — he hasn’t put up a save percentage over .900 since 2017-18.
