Martin Jones (born January 10, 1990) is a Canadian ice hockey goaltender for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League. He previously played for the Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks, Philadelphia Flyers, and Seattle Kraken. A standout goaltender in junior with the Calgary Hitmen, Jones was named the Western Hockey League's goaltender of the year in 2009–10 and won a silver medal with Team Canada at the 2010 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.

During the 2009–10 season with the Hitmen, Jones finished with a league-best GAA of 2.21 and was named a First Team All-Star in the Eastern Conference.[12] In advance of his second consecutive appearance in the championship series, the league named him the winner of the Del Wilson Trophy as the WHL's top goaltender.[13] During the season, he surpassed Spence's team record for career wins,[2] and his 16 career shutouts are also a franchise record.[14]
Professional
Los Angeles Kings
The Kings assigned Jones to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs to begin the 2010–11 season.[15] He also played with the Ontario Reign of the ECHL for a time,[16] but after posting a 16–3–0 record, .939 save percentage and 1.93 GAA in his first 22 games for the Monarchs, Jones was chosen to play in the 2011 AHL All-Star Game.[17] He was on the roster of the Los Angeles Kings as a spare when they won their first Stanley Cup, but did not play.[18]

On June 26, 2015, Jones, set to become a restricted free agent on July 1, was traded to the
Having his first season as a starting goaltender, Jones had 65 games in 2015–16 with the Sharks, finishing with a 2.27 goal-against average, .918 save percentage,[28] and the second most shutouts in the regular season with six, next to Chicago Blackhawks netminder Corey Crawford with seven. Jones then helped the Sharks reach their first Stanley Cup Finals, starting 24 playoff games and having shutouts in three of them.[29]
On July 1, 2017, Jones signed a six-year, $34.5 million contract extension.[30]
Jones had a difficult start to the 2019–20 season, dropping four games in a row before he was benched in favor of Aaron Dell.[31] A six-game winning streak in November was snapped by a loss to the Edmonton Oilers, and even during this stretch, Jones maintained a .891 save percentage.[32] On December 11, 2019, the Sharks fired DeBoer in favor of Bob Boughner, who wanted to give Dell more playing time.[33] By the new year, Jones was rarely starting in goal for San Jose: between January 1 and February 13, he started only three games, during which he went 0-2-1 with 4.32 GAA and a .857 save percentage.[34] He seemed to improve afterwards, going 4-4-0 with a 2.02 GAA and .927 save percentage in his last eight games before the NHL season was indefinitely suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[35] When the NHL announced that it would not finish the regular season, but would immediately begin the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs using the 24 highest-ranked teams in the league, the Sharks, who had the worst record in the Western Conference, were not invited to the postseason.[36]

Philadelphia Flyers
A day later, on the opening of free agency, Jones was signed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Philadelphia Flyers.[42]
Seattle Kraken
On July 13, 2022, as a free agent from the Flyers, Jones inked a one-year, $2 million contract with the Seattle Kraken for the 2022–23 season.[43]
Jones would earn his 200th career NHL win on October 21, 2022, against the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche, making one save in his appearance after entering the game in relief after injury to Philipp Grubauer.
Toronto Maple Leafs
As a free agent for the third consecutive offseason, Jones was signed to a one-year, $875,000 contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on August 9, 2023.[44] He attended the Maple Leafs 2023 training camp, but failed to make the team and was placed on waivers. After going unclaimed Jones was assigned to the Maple Leafs AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, to start the 2023–24 season.[45][46] He made his Leafs debut on December 7, 2023, in relief for Joseph Woll after Woll was injured following a save. Jones stopped nine of ten shots in relief en route to his first win as a Maple Leaf.[47]
