Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Assigned to minors
Askarov was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Sunday.
The Sharks recalled Vitek Vanecek (face) from his minor-league conditioning assignment in a corresponding move. Askarov will play in the AHL All-Star Classic on Monday and participate in Sunday's AHL All-Star Skills Competition. He has a 4-6-2 record with a 3.10 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 13 NHL appearances this season.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Chased early in second period
Askarov stopped seven of 11 shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Kraken.
Consistency continues to elude Askarov, who has allowed three or more goals in five of his last six games. The Kraken blitzed him in the second period, scoring three goals in a span of 3:55 before head coach Ryan Warsofsky put Alexandar Georgiev in. For the season, Askarov is 4-6-2 with a 3.10 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 13 appearances. It's looking more and more likely that he'll return to AHL San Jose once Vitek Vanecek (face) completes his conditioning stint. The Sharks are off until Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens, and by that time, Vanecek may be ready to come off injured reserve.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Expected starter for Thursday
Askarov is set to start in Thursday's road clash against Seattle, per Max Miller of NHL.com on Wednesday.
Askarov stopped 29 of 30 shots (.967 save percentage) en route to a 2-1 win over Pittsburgh on Monday. He's 4-5-2 with a 2.87 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 12 appearances in 2024-25. Seattle is tied for 17th in goals per game with 2.92.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Excellent in win over Pittsburgh
Askarov stopped 29 of 30 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.
Askarov earned his first win since Jan. 4, snapping a four-game stretch in which he went 0-3-0 with a 4.51 GAA and an .852 save percentage. This was a step in the right direction, but between his lack of consistency and the Sharks' defensive woes, it's hard to trust Askarov in most fantasy formats -- even if he has an occasional strong outing from time to time.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Facing Pittsburgh
Askarov will defend the home cage Monday against the Penguins, per Max Miller of NHL.com.
Askarov allowed three goals on 17 shots after replacing Alexandar Georgiev in the middle stanza of Saturday's 7-2 loss to Florida. The 22-year-old Askarov has conceded at least three goals in four consecutive outings, and he hasn't been in the win column since Jan. 4. The Russian netminder will attempt to earn his fourth win of the campaign against a Pittsburgh club that is tied for 17th in the NHL with 2.92 goals per game.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Poor showing in relief
Askarov stopped 14 of 17 shots in relief of Alexandar Georgiev in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Panthers.
Askarov will avoid taking a result from this game, but that's about the only positive. The Panthers eased up after a four-goal second period, but Askarov didn't do much better than Georgiev after entering the game early in the middle frame. He's winless over his last four outings, and Askarov has allowed 16 goals in that span. The 22-year-old remains at 3-5-2 through 11 appearances, but his GAA rose to 3.04, and his save percentage dropped to .898 due to Saturday's performance. The Sharks' next game is Monday at home versus the Penguins.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Loses to former team
Askarov stopped 32 of 38 shots in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Predators.
Askarov, who was dealt from Nashville to San Jose this past offseason, fared no better against his former team in this game than Alexandar Georgiev did Tuesday in Music City. This was Askarov's third straight loss, and he's allowed 13 goals in that span. The 22-year-old is down to 3-5-2 with a 2.93 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 10 contests. It's a poor time for a slump, as Vitek Vanecek (face) could resume practicing soon, and it's possible his return will lead to Askarov's return to the AHL if he can't get his performance back on track. Neither Askarov nor Georgiev will be recommended in fantasy for Saturday's home game against the Panthers.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Slated to face Nashville
Askarov is expected to guard the home net against Nashville on Thursday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Askarov will attempt to get back into the win column after losing his past two starts while allowing seven goals on 53 shots (.868 save percentage). He's 3-4-2 with a 2.57 GAA and a .912 save percentage in nine outings in 2024-25. Nashville ranks 28th in goals per game with 2.63.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Allows four goals in loss
Askarov stopped 27 of 31 shots in a 6-3 loss to Boston on Monday. The Bruins' fifth and sixth goals of the game were empty-netters.
The Sharks had a 3-2 lead after two periods, but two goals by Charlie Coyle in the third frame put Boston in the driver's seat. Despite suffering from an illness, the 22-year-old Askarov was the backup behind Alexandar Georgiev in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders. Askarov has lost his last two outings to drop to 3-4-2 this season, but he still has a 2.58 GAA and a .912 save percentage.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Starting against Boston
Askarov will start Monday's road game against Boston, Sheng Peng of San JoseHockeyNow.com reports.
Askarov sat out five of the Sharks' last six games, but he'll tend the twine in the first half of a back-to-back set Monday. Over three starts this month, the 22-year-old has gone 2-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .922 save percentage.

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.
