Sharks' Martin Jones: Defending cage for Game 6

Jones will be between the pipes Wednesday evening, facing the Blues at home in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

Analysis:

Jones wasn't great in Monday's Game 5, surrendering three goals on just 21 shots, but did enough to pick up his league-leading 11th win of the postseason. The 26-year-old backstop will need to be especially sharp Wednesday evening, as he'll be taking on a St. Louis club that will be desperate to stave off elimination. The Blues' have been at their best with their backs against the wall this postseason, racking up nine goals in the two elimination games they've played thus far. Jones' recent struggles in goal combined with his tough matchup make the backstop a somewhat risky play in daily contests and playoff pools Wednesday.
