LOS ANGELES: Martin Jones’ charmed NHL career just keeps getting more surreal with every save, every win and every shutout in his rapidly growing collection.
Jones made 24 saves for his third shutout in five games, and the remarkable rookie led the Los Angeles Kings to a 3-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers yesterday.
Dwight King and Jordan Nolan scored during another dominant night for Jones, who became the first goalie in Kings history to begin his career with six consecutive victories.
Edmonton is only the latest team that couldn’t solve Jones, who has allowed just five goals in his six games.
Even Jones seems a bit bewildered by his phenomenal success, but he’s trying to stay focused on each frustrated opponent instead of his overall accomplishments.
