The loss of No. 1 goaltender Martin Jones did little to slow down the red-hot San Jose Sharks.

The club was perfect in back-to-back games on the weekend with wins over the Pittsburgh Penguins and Anaheim Ducks, thanks in large part to the play of backup netminder Aaron Dell.

Dell had himself a weekend, playing both games while making a combined 64 saves on 67 shots. The impressive play is nothing new for the 28-year-old, who's been stellar over his last dozen games.

Jones remains day to day with a lower-body injury. With Dell playing the way he is, there's no need for the Sharks to rush their starting goalie back into action.
