Maple Leafs' Martin Jones: Jolted by Bolts
Jones turned aside 26 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Lightning.
Tampa Bay jumped out to a 2-0 lead before seven minutes had elapsed in the first period and built a 5-1 lead before the second intermission, and Toronto's late rally ended up falling short. This could be Jones' last appearance for the Maple Leafs -- the 34-year-old netminder will be a free agent in the offseason, and the team is more likely to bring back Ilya Samsonov to pair with Joseph Woll. Jones went 11-8-1 during his season in blue and white with a 2.87 GAA and .902 save percentage over 22 outings, numbers that should be good enough to earn him an offer from a team in need of a veteran backup in the crease.

Maple Leafs' Martin Jones: Slated to start Wednesday
Jones is expected to start on the road against Tampa Bay on Wednesday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
Jones is making his first appearance since March 23. He has an 11-7-1 record, 2.70 GAA and .908 save percentage in 21 contests this season. The Lightning, who rank fifth offensively with 3.48 goals per game, figure to be a challenging adversary for the netminder, unless they decide to rest a number of their key players for the meaningless finale.

Maple Leafs' Martin Jones: Strong in relief
Jones stopped five shots in a 6-3 win over Edmonton on Saturday.
Jones entered Saturday's contest with just a bit more than three minutes left after Ilya Samsonov suffered some kind of lower-body injury. Jones was immediately pelted by the Oilers, who had pulled their netminder for the extra attacker. The 34-year-old was sharp, and he also got help from his post. Joseph Woll is slated to start Sunday, so Jones will likely act as his backup until Samsonov returns.

Maple Leafs' Martin Jones: Gives up three goals in win
Jones stopped 23 of 26 shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Golden Knights.
The Maple Leafs jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the first period, giving Jones all the support he needed to secure his second win in a row. It was Toronto's sixth straight win, though Ilya Samsonov has once again claimed the No. 1 job in Toronto. Jones is at 11-7-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 20 outings. The Maple Leafs wrap up their road trip Saturday in Colorado, and with no back-to-back sets over the next week, it's unclear when Jones might get back between the pipes.

Jones stopped 19 of 21 shots in Saturday's 9-2 win over Anaheim.
Toronto's offense did most of the work Saturday, but Jones was sharp when he needed to be, allowing just a pair of goals en route to his first win since Jan. 18.

Maple Leafs' Martin Jones: Allows four in loss
Jones made 28 saves in a 5-3 loss to Ottawa on Saturday. He allowed four goals.
It was Jones' first start since Jan. 20. He didn't play poorly -- the goals were all impressive. Claude Giroux corralled a rebound in front, waited for Jones to commit and scored on a backhand. Vladimir Tarasenko got the second goal on a breakaway, and Shane Pinto tipped in a point shot. Josh Norris scored the winner on a seeing-eye wrist shot that went top shelf. Jones will continue to see sporadic work until Joseph Woll (ankle) returns or the Leafs trade for a netminder.

Maple Leafs' Martin Jones: Struggles continue
Jones made 15 saves on 21 shots Saturday in a 6-4 loss to Vancouver.
He didn't get rattled in the first when the Canucks' bottom six rang up three quick goals. The game was tied 4-4 until the 7:11 mark of the third when Vancouver scored the first of two power-play goals that frame to seal the win. Jones hasn't had a great run lately, going 1-3-1 and giving up 20 goals in his last five starts. The Leafs have struggled with poor team defense during that span against some elite teams, including Vancouver, Edmonton and Colorado. Jones will continue to be the starter in Toronto until Joseph Woll (ankle) returns. Still, it may be time to rotate Ilya Samsonov into more games to give Jones a bit of a breather.

The Flames were hot to start the game. They fired 11 shots at Jones in the first period, scoring on two of them including a power-play goal by Nazem Kadri at the 15:23 marker. After being down 2-0, the Maple Leafs forwards gave the team some cushion by scoring four consecutive goals, including a hat trick by Auston Matthews.

Maple Leafs' Martin Jones: Tending twine Thursday
Jones will patrol the blue paint against the Flames on the road Thursday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
Jones is mired in a three-game losing streak during which he's given up 11 goals on 93 shots (.882 save percentage). With the veteran netminder struggling, it could open the door for Ilya Samsonov to re-stake his claim at the No. 1 job, though an upcoming back-to-back against Vancouver and Seattle on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, should see both backstops feature.

Maple Leafs' Martin Jones: Falls to Edmonton
Jones allowed three goals on 31 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
Jones was staked to a 2-0 lead midway through the second period before surrendering a Leon Draisaitl goal later in the frame. That was followed by two more unanswered tallies in the third en route to a 4-2 defeat. It's the third straight loss for the 34-year-old Jones -- he's allowed 11 goals on 93 shots in that span. Overall, Jones falls to 8-5-1 with a .922 save percentage and 2.36 GAA this season. While Jones has earned the starting job over Ilya Samsonov, it remains to be seen how Toronto's goalie situation will shake out with Joseph Woll (ankle) nearing a return.

Jones wasn't great in his last start Saturday against the Avalanche, surrendering four goals on 32 shots en route to a 5-3 loss. He'll try to return to the win column in a brutal road matchup with a scorching-hot Edmonton team that's won 10 straight games.

Maple Leafs' Martin Jones: Needed help from top teammates
Jones made 28 saves in a 5-3 loss to Colorado on Saturday.
Jones allowed four goals, which is the same number he surrendered Thursday night against the Islanders. The Leafs didn't really help Jones out Saturday. None of Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner, William Nylander or John Tavares found the scoresheet, and the team couldn't fend off a marauding Nathan MacKinnon late in the game. Jones remains a solid fantasy netminder, but remember he's not the type who can carry the team when the big guns go silent.
