Martin Jones News

Jones will start for the Maple Leafs on Tuesday after a heroic 38-save shutout in their last game, a 7-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. In three appearances with the Maple Leafs this season (3-0-0), all over the last two weeks, Jones has been sensational, posting a 1.85 GAA and .949 SV%. If Jones can maintain consistency while Joseph Woll (lower-body) is injured, he will likely receive at least a timeshare between the pipes. The Maple Leafs are slight -113 home favourites on Tuesday against the New York Rangers, who the Maple Leafs convincingly defeated by a score of 7-3 in Jones' first start of the season.

Jones will draw his second start in three games after winning his previous two appearance as he continues to replace the injured Joseph Woll. The 33-year-old veteran netminder is back to his winning ways after collecting 27 wins in 2022-23 with Seattle, with his 2-0-0 record this year, 3.46 GAA and .902 SV%. He hosts the Pittsburgh Penguins Saturday, who are in the middle of a two-game winning streak while ranking fifth in the NHL in shots on goal (33.1).

He hosts the Pittsburgh Penguins Saturday, who are in the middle of a two-game winning streak while ranking fifth in the NHL in shots on goal (33.1).

Jones finds himself with the team because Joseph Wall will be out of the lineup for several weeks with an ankle sprain and, on the back end of a back-to-back, will make his first start of the season for the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. Jones played well in relief last week, saving nine of 10 shots (.900 SV%) and shutting the door to secure a 4-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators. The 33-year-old netminder has plenty of NHL experience but has played exclusively in the AHL thus far, posting a 3.37 GAA and .870 SV% in five games (2-1-1). Jones and the Maple Leafs will have their work cut out for them as +151 road underdogs against the New York Rangers.

Ilya Samsonov (illness) is still not up to full strength and will be out Thursday so Martin Jones has been recalled from the Toronto Marlies (AHL) to backup. The 33-year-old veteran netminder signed a one-year contract with the Maple Leafs in the offseason but has struggled with the Marlies (AHL) in limited action early; with his 2-1-1 record, 3.37 GAA and .870 SV%.

Jones will join the Maple Leafs as they head to Sweden as part of the NHL Global Series. The veteran netminder will unlikely see any action during the Maple Leafs team's two-game series in Sweden but will provide the team with goaltending depth behind Ilya Samsonov and Joseph Woll.

Jones was 27-13-3 with a .886 SV% and a 2.99 GAA in 2022-23 with Seattle and has signed a one-year, $885,000 contract with Toronto on Wednesday. The 33-year-old is joining his fifth NHL team with in his 11th season and has a 225-263-35 career record with a .905 SV% and 2.71 GAA through 444 NHL games played. He will be expected to back-up Ilya Samsonov in Toronto this season.

Johnson had two goals, six assists, 92 SOG, 28 PIMs and a -15 plus/minus through 83 games in 2022-23 with both Chicago and Colorado and has signed a one-year, $775,000 extension with the Avalanche. The 36-year-old defenseman was a key piece of Colorado's 2021-22 Stanley Cup wining roster and will be entering his 18th NHL season. He has 74 goals, 320 points and 599 PIMs across 1107 career NHL games played.

Johnson has yet to suit up in the 2022-23 playoffs but was skating Wednesday in a normal jersey and willplay ahead of Colorado's crucial matchup vs. Seattle. The 36-year-old played in 83 regular season games between Colorado and Chicago, picking up two goals, eight points, 92 SOG, 28 PIMs and a -15 plus/minus.

Johnson missed Game 1 as a late scratch due to an undisclosed injury and is now considered day-to-day for the time being. The 36-year-old was replaced by Erik Johnson in the Avalanche's lineup for Colorado's first game. He had two goals, eight points and a -15 plus/minus through 83 games with Colorado and Chicago this season.
