Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Pulled in first period
Askarov allowed four goals on 16 shots in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Askarov lasted just 14:57, leaving after digging the Sharks a 4-0 hole. Alex Nedeljkovic did no better in relief, allowing three goals on 10 shots even with the Golden Knights letting up significantly in pressure. Askarov has lost his last two outings, and he's given up at least three goals in seven straight contests, a major downturn after his strong November. Overall, he's 12-10-1 with a 3.37 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 23 starts. The holiday break may serve him well to reset, but if Askarov's struggles persist, Nedeljkovic could begin to pull closer to an even split of starts.

Askarov stopped 28 of 31 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Askarov wasn't able to get his winning streak to three games. A pair of Seattle goals 2:32 apart in the third period did Askarov in for this contest, and he's now allowed at least three goals in six straight outings. He's at a 12-9-1 record with a 3.22 GAA and an .902 save percentage. The Sharks have taken a step forward this year, but there will still be some bumps along the way, though Askarov has shown plenty of potential. The Sharks visit the Golden Knights on Tuesday.

Askarov allowed three goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flames.
The Flames overcame an early 2-0 deficit, but Askarov made sure the Sharks' next lead would hold. The 23-year-old has won his last two starts, but he's given up eight goals on 73 shots in that span. He may continue to face high shot totals behind a defense that can be on the leaky side. Askarov is up to 12-8-1 on the year with a 3.23 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 21 starts. The Sharks are in for a tougher matchup when they host the Stars on Thursday.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: First off Tuesday
Askarov is scheduled to guard the home cage Tuesday versus Calgary, per Max Miller of NHL.com.
Askarov has been shaky in December, going 2-2-0 with a 4.55 GAA and an .866 save percentage across four appearances. The 2020 first-round pick seemed destined for a loss in Pittsburgh on Saturday, but the Sharks overcame a 5-1 deficit to beat the Penguins in overtime. On the season, Askarov holds an 11-8-1 record, .900 save percentage and 3.24 GAA through 20 outings. The 23-year-old will look to put together a strong performance against a Flames squad that has generated 2.48 goals per game in 2025-26, which is the second-worst mark in the NHL.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Hangs on for OT win
Askarov turned aside 38 shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Penguins.
The Penguins dominated the second period and took a 5-1 lead on an Anthony Mantha power-play tally early in the third, but Askarov stood on his head down the stretch as the Sharks mounted the biggest late comeback in franchise history. The 23-year-old netminder had ceded the prior three starts to Alex Nedeljkovic due to an illness, but Askarov seems ready to resume No. 1 duties in the San Jose crease. On the season, he's gone 11-8-1 in 20 outings with a 3.19 GAA and a .902 save percentage.

Askarov will defend the visiting net in Dallas on Friday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Pulled before first intermission
Askarov gave up four goals on 12 shots before he was replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic in the first period of Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Capitals.
It's the second time in four outings that Askarov has received an early hook. Brandon Duhaime's shorthanded tally was the final goal Askarov gave up in Wednesday's outing. He still ended up with the loss, falling to 10-7-1 with a 3.15 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 18 starts this season. After looking nearly invincible in early November, the 23-year-old netminder might be safer to use in favorable matchups in fantasy. He'll be a risky option if he gets the start Friday in Dallas as the Sharks begin a five-game road trip.
