It wasn't very exciting, but he'll take it.
San Jose Sharks goaltender Martin Jones steered away 20 St. Louis Blues shots Thursday to pick up his second consecutive shutout, becoming the first netminder in franchise history to achieve the feat.
#Sharks' Martin Jones is the first goalie to have consecutive SOs in the conference finals since the #Flyers' Michael Leighton in 2010.

Jones also matched Evgeni Nabokov's output from the 2004 playoffs, recording his third shutout of the postseason and his 10th win - both franchise bests.
The 22-year-old has now gone 150:45 without conceding a goal, and his club holds a 2-1 series lead.
