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' Jan Rutta: Banks helpers in loss
Rutta posted an even-strength assist in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.
Rutta nabbed the primary assist on San Jose's lone goal in the loss, scored by Barclay Goodrow. Rutta has gotten on the scoresheet in two of his last three games, and through eight appearances in January, he's logged one goal, two assists and a minus-2 rating. The 6-foot-3 blueliner provides value in the form of blocked shots, but he shouldn't warrant much fantasy consideration outside of deeper formats. Rutta has two goals, eight points and a minus-6 rating through 48 outings on the season.
