In the first of four contests last week, Jones stood tall through 65 minutes and an eight-round shootout, as San Jose won the contest 4-3 over the Minnesota Wild on March 29.
Two days later, he stumped the Wild once again with a 4-2 win and a total of 48 saves over the pair of games.
It was no surprise that San Jose looked to Jones again for a two-game set in L.A. to conclude the week.
In the first of back-to-back efforts, the netminder earned his 25th career shutout and first of the 2021 season in a 3-0 win. He then backstopped the Sharks to a 3-2 victory with 35 saves the following night.

This season, the 31-year-old has saved 148 of 153 shots against his former team.
After collecting eight points in a perfect week, Jones and the Sharks find themselves just three points shy of the final playoff spot in the Honda NHL West Division.
