Martin Jones’ first season as a starting goalie has gone relatively well, but it’s safe to say that he didn’t have his finest moment in Sunday’s game against the Blues.
With the game tied 1-1 in the second period, Jones was fooled by a Jori Lehtera shot that looked harmless enough.
Yea, that’s a tough one to give up in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. It’ll be interesting to how he bounces back from this one.
Here’s some reaction from hockey Twitter:
Burns on the turnover to Lehtera and then a shot that Martin Jones must obviously stop

To quote Gretzky, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Fire away at Martin Jones as often as possible. @StLouisBlues @KSDKSports

Brent Burns turns it over and Jori Lehtera picks it off, slapper-knuckleball shot fools Martin Jones. #stlblues
