Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Can't contain Wild's top line
Askarov allowed three goals on 22 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.
The Wild's top line scored in each period, though the last goal came with Askarov attempting to get off the ice for an extra attacker. Since he was caught in his own zone when the puck went in, the goal was still charged to him despite the 22-year-old having no chance to play the shot. He's had few poor outings so far, but this was among his worst at the NHL level this season. Askarov is down to 3-3-2 with a 2.39 GAA and a .917 save percentage over eight appearances. The Sharks begin a five-game road trip when they visit Detroit on Tuesday, and it wouldn't be surprising for Askarov to start three of those games, as Alexandar Georgiev hasn't done anything to justify earning more playing time.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Starting Saturday
Askarov will patrol the home crease versus Minnesota on Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Askarov has been outstanding in limited action this season, going 3-2-2 with a 2.30 GAA and a .923 save percentage for the lowly Sharks. Askarov has spent most of the season at the AHL level, where he was 9-4-1 with a 2.00 GAA and a .938 save percentage in 14 appearances. The Wild are scoring 3.00 goals per game this season.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Another victory against strong team
Askarov made 29 saves in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
Nico Hischier beat Askarov with a tap-in on a second-period power play, and Paul Cotter went far side in the third. Askarov has won two straight starts this week, defeating the Lightning and the Devils. He will remain with the Sharks while Vitek Vanecek recovers from a fractured cheekbone. Alexandar Georgiev could still cut into Askarkov's playing time, but the latter will likely continue to play while he has the hot hand.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Tending twine Saturday
Askarov will protect the home net against New Jersey on Saturday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.
Askarov is coming off a 24-save performance in Thursday's 2-1 win over Tampa Bay. He has a 2-2-2 record with a 2.35 GAA and a .921 save percentage through six NHL appearances this season. New Jersey is tied for 10th in the league with 3.22 goals per game in 2024-25.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Fends off Lightning
Askarov stopped 24 of 25 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Lightning.
Askarov wasn't tested too much, but he still pulled off quite the feat in quieting one of the league's best offenses. This was Askarov's first win since he was called up to cover the absence of Vitek Vanecek (face). For the season, Askarov is 2-2-2 with a 2.35 GAA and a .921 save percentage over six outings. The 22-year-old should continue to push Alexandar Georgiev for playing time, though another tough matchup awaits in Saturday's matinee home game versus the Devils.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: First off ice Thursday
Askarov was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate and is slated to defend the home crease versus Tampa Bay on Thursday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Askarov is 1-2-2 with the Sharks this season, surrendering 13 goals on 153 shots (.915 save percentage) as he is making his case to take over the top job in San Jose. The 22-year-old was selected 11th overall in 2020 by Nashville and was dealt to San Jose in the offseason. Askarov has a tough matchup, as the Lightning are averaging a league-high 3.94 goals per game this season.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Falls to Flames
Askarov allowed two goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Despite the loss, Askarov's performance on Saturday was encouraging. The Flames' first goal was a tipped-in shot, and the second came on a power play, so there's not much blame to place on Askarov for either tally. Still, he's 1-2-2 with a 2.62 GAA and a .915 save percentage through five NHL outings this season. Vitek Vanecek is week-to-week with a fractured cheekbone, so Askarov will have an extended opportunity to challenge Alexandar Georgiev for playing time between the pipes. The Sharks' next game is Tuesday versus the Flyers.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Tending twine Saturday
Askarov will protect the home net versus Calgary on Saturday, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Askarov is coming off a 20-save effort in a 4-3 loss to Vancouver on Monday. He has surrendered 11 goals on 121 shots en route to a 1-1-2 record with the Sharks this season. Calgary ranks 25th in the league with 2.71 goals per game in 2024-25.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Stumbles in second period
Askarov allowed four goals on 24 shots in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.
Askarov took his first regulation loss in four games this season. He was done in by an awful finish to the second period -- he allowed three goals in a span of 1:10, and that was too much for the Sharks to come back from. The 22-year-old goalie is 1-1-2 with a 2.75 GAA and a .909 save percentage so far. He'll share the goaltending duties with Alexandar Georgiev, at least until Vitek Vanecek (upper body) is cleared to return.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Set to start against Vancouver
Askarov was the first goalie off Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports, indicating that he'll draw the start on the road against the Canucks.
Askarov started Saturday against Edmonton and turned aside 39 of 42 shots in the overtime loss, and he'll be in the net for a second consecutive game Monday. Although the 22-year-old netminder has had to settle for a 1-0-2 record over his first three NHL starts of the season, he's been relatively solid over a limited sample, posting a 2.30 GAA and .928 save percentage.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Strong game despite Oil slick
Askarov made 39 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to Edmonton on Saturday.
It was a personal best for the 22-year-old Askarov in terms of saves in the NHL. He was sharp for sure, but the duo of Connor McDavid (three assists) and Leon Draisaitl (GWG) were a lot to handle for the Sharks' goalie of the future. Askarov is in town for only a couple of weeks until Vitek Vanecek (upper body) gets back from injury. The young netminder showed well Saturday and could be a solid option in daily formats given his skill.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Facing Oilers
Askarov will patrol the road crease in Edmonton on Saturday, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Askarov is considered the Sharks' goaltender of the future. He has started a pair of NHL games this season, going 1-0-1 while allowing four goals on 55 shots. Askarov has excelled at the AHL level this season, as he is 9-4-1 with a 2.00 GAA and a .938 save percentage. The Oilers will be a tough matchup for Askarov as they are averaging 3.28 goals per game in 2024-25.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Joining NHL club
Askarov was recalled from AHL San Jose on Wednesday.
Askarov's promotion comes after Vitek Vanecek was hit by an errant puck during Tuesday's matchup with Winnipeg. Considering Alexandar Georgiev has given up a combined seven goals on 53 shots (.868 save percentage) in his last two outings, the Sharks may have been planning to give Tuesday's start versus Colorado to Vanecek. Instead, it could be an opportunity for Askarov to make his third NHL appearance this season -- or the team will simply go back to Georgiev.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Sent down Tuesday
Askarov was assigned to AHL San Jose on Tuesday.
Askarov picked up his first win as a Shark on Monday in a 7-2 victory over the Kings. Given his performance, this transaction could be a paper move to allow San Jose to accrue cap space, but that remains to be seen. Through two NHL appearances in 2024-25, Askarov is 1-0-1 with a .927 save percentage and a 1.96 GAA.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Defeats division rival
Askarov stopped 22 of 24 shots in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings.
Askarov received plenty of goal support in his first home game as a Shark. He also had an assist on Nico Sturm's opening tally to help his own cause in his first win of the season. Askarov has allowed four goals on 55 shots while going 1-0-1 through two games this season. The Sharks are currently carrying three goalies and no spare defensemen, so Askarov could end up getting sent to AHL San Jose once Marc-Edouard Vlasic (back) is ready to make his season debut or the team decides to recall Jack Thompson for depth purposes.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: In net versus LA
Askarov will tend the home twine Monday in a divisional matchup versus the Kings, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.
Askarov will make his second start of the season and first on home ice. The 22-year-old was solid in his Sharks debut Thursday against the Blues -- he turned aside 29 of 31 shots but came away with a shootout loss. The Kings rank 17th in the NHL with 3.00 goals per game through 21 contests.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Solid in 2024-25 debut
Askarov made 29 saves on 31 shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blues.
Askarov got off to a less-than-ideal start in his debut with the Sharks, allowing a goal just 11 seconds into the contest, but he settled in as the game went along. The 22-year-old currently has a chance to earn a role in the crease while Vitek Vanecek tends to an upper-body injury. Askarov inked a two-year deal with San Jose after being acquired in a trade from Nashville in August. Through four NHL appearances, the 22-year-old is 1-1-1 with a 2.38 GAA and a .921 save percentage.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Between the pipes Thursday
Askarov will defend the road crease in St. Louis on Thursday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Askarov is considered the Sharks' goaltender of the future, and he will make his San Jose debut Thursday after spending the first six weeks of the season in the AHL. Askarov was 6-3-0 with a 1.92 GAA and a .939 save percentage over nine appearances in the AHL before being recalled. He will face the Blues, who are 29th in NHL scoring, averaging 2.45 goals per game.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Summoned by NHL club
Askarov was recalled from AHL San Jose on Monday.
Askarov was sent to the minors ahead of the regular season, but he'll join the NHL club after Vitek Vanecek (undisclosed) sustained an injury Saturday against the Penguins. Askarov is the best goaltending prospect in pro hockey and has gotten off to a hot start in the AHL this season, posting a 6-3-0 record, 1.92 GAA and .939 save percentage over nine games. Mackenzie Blackwood and Vanecek have been inconsistent early in the 2024-25 campaign, so it's possible that Askarov sticks with the Sharks if he performs well in the near future.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Shipped down to minors
Askarov (lower body) was demoted to AHL San Jose on Friday.
When Askarov was acquired by San Jose in a trade from Nashville during the offseason, there was speculation that he would supplant Mackenzie Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek as the No. 1 option between the pipes for the Sharks. Instead, the 22-year-old Askarov has been sent down to the minors to open the season, perhaps in part due to the lower-body injury that limited him during training camp. Even with the demotion, it seems unlikely this will be the last time Askarov graces the NHL roster this year.
