A Small Role for Jones?
With Ilya Samsonov and Joseph Woll, Jones will likely be the organization's third goalie. However, due to injuries, he might move up and see some action this season.
In August, Jones signed a one-year contract valued at $875,000. Last season, with the Kraken, Jones had a 27-13-3 record, a 2.99 goals-against average, a .887 save percentage, and three shutouts.
Jones has been in the NHL since 2013 and has played for the Flyers, the Sharks, the Kings, and the Kraken. He has won 225 games during that time.
Do you think Jones will play 10 games or more this season?
