Short breakdown of all goals allowed Caleb Jones has been on ice for.
GA 1: Bad read by Larsson when Kassian already pressured Pearson, and you could blame Nuge a bit as well (he was basically skating with Horvat before the goal). Not Jones' fault.

GA 2: Turris leaves his man wide open. Terrible coverage by him.
GA 3: You could argue both Jones/ Larsson were a bit high in the zone, but it was ultimately Larsson's man who scored. Drai could have done a better job at getting the puck out.

GA 4: Good shot by Schmidt from the point, can't really blame Larsson or Jones here IMO.
GA 5: Jones could have done a better job at stopping the breakaway pass, but it was a really bad read by Bear on this breakaway. It was more of Bear's mistake.

GA 6: Someone explain what Larsson is doing on his stomach on a 2 on 2.
PK Goal 1: Could argue Jones could have been in the shooting lane more and could have tried to block the shot better,but not the greatest of goals for Koskinen to allow.Yamo's failed clearing attempt led to it in the first place.

PK Goal 2: Skinner's fault. Wouldn't blame Jones.
Conclusion: Especially compared to Barrie and Larsson, Jones hasn't been making egregious mistakes on goals against like many say. He's 2nd on the team for defenceman in xGF% while playing tougher competition than every D-man other than Nurse/Bear.

Play Caleb Jones.
