The veteran goalie went 3-0-0 with a 1.98 goals-against average and .935 save percentage in three Sharks wins. He allowed only six goals while saving 87 of 93 shot attempts against him in the three victories.
Jones is 12-8-1 this season in front of the net for the Sharks. He has an .896 save percentage -- tied with last season's career low -- and has a career-worst 3.03 goals against average.

The Sharks, however, finished November winning five of their final six games as Jones elevated his play. San Jose now is third in the Pacific Division, and will need Jones to continue to improve to climb up the standings.
