It remains to be seen if he'll play Saturday, but he'll likely make his 2026-27 season debut at some point in the near future from a depth role.

Askarov will patrol the home crease against Edmonton on Saturday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
After stopping 54 of 61 shots in two wins to begin the 2026-27 campaign, Askarov is coming off a 21-save effort in Monday's 5-0 loss to Dallas. Edmonton (3-0-1) has compiled 22 goals in four games this season.

Sharks' Jimmy Huntington: Logs three points in AHL loss
Rotowire
Huntington scored twice and added an assist in AHL San Jose's 7-4 loss to Tucson on Friday.
Huntington is up to three goals and an assist over three games this season. The 27-year-old forward is an AHL veteran at this stage of his career, and while he may score at a decent rate, he probably won't receive a call-up in 2026-27.

Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Might return Saturday
Rotowire
Gaudette (upper body) might be available for Saturday's game against Edmonton, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.
Gaudette has missed San Jose's opening four games because of the injury. The Sharks' lineup for Saturday has no shortage of question marks because Macklin Celebrini (lower body) and Kiefer Sherwood (upper body) are both listed as game-time decisions, in addition to the uncertainty regarding Gaudette. If Gaudette is able to play Saturday, then he'll likely serve in a bototm-six capacity.
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Friday that Celebrini (lower body) is a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup against Edmonton, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Celebrini has participated in long skating sessions Thursday and Friday and is progressing in his recovery, but the team's medical staff will wait to see how he feels Saturday before determining his status against the Oilers. The 20-year-old has missed the last two games due to his injury, but his recent updates indicate that he doesn't appear to be facing a long-term absence, regardless of whether he gets the green light Saturday.

Sharks' Kiefer Sherwood: Game-time call for Saturday
Rotowire
Sherwood (upper body) is expected to be a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt against Edmonton, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.
Sherwood has a goal in four outings with the Sharks this season. Macklin Celebrini (lower body) and Adam Gaudette (upper body) might both be available to face Edmonton, so the Sharks have a lot of uncertainty regarding their lineup for Saturday.

Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Celebrini (lower body) is making progress, but he remains questionable for Saturday's game against Edmonton, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Although Celebrini was on the ice for a second straight long skating session Friday, he wasn't sure what his status would be Saturday. The 20-year-old has missed San Jose's past two games due to the injury. He has five assists in two appearances in 2026-27.
Graf scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.
Graf has filled a middle-six role early in the season, and he's not involved on the power play. The versatile forward is likely set for less prominent usage than last year since the Sharks have multiple young forwards making the jump to the NHL. Graf has a goal, four shots on net, eight hits, three blocked shots, seven PIM and a minus-1 rating over four outings to start the campaign.

Sharks' Darnell Nurse: Seals win in overtime
Rotowire
Nurse scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.
Nurse tallied just over a minute into overtime to give the Sharks their third win of the year. All of those victories have come past regulation time. The goal was Nurse's first point for the Sharks, and he's added five shots on net, six hits, 10 blocked shots, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating. At his best, he's a multi-category contributor in fantasy, but he could be limited on offense since he's not receiving power-play time early in the campaign.

Sharks' Tyler Toffoli: One of each in overtime win
Rotowire
Toffoli scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.
Toffoli scored in the second period and assisted on Collin Graf's tally in the third. This was Toffoli's second multi-point effort through four outings this season as he continues to provide offense and experience in a middle-six role. He has two goals, two assists, 11 shots on net, three hits and a plus-2 rating.

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Secures overtime win
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.
Nedeljkovic put in a solid performance in his first start of the season. The Sharks did their part, twice coming back from one-goal deficits before Darnell Nurse tallied in overtime. Nedeljkovic has functioned as Yaroslav Askarov's backup to begin 2026-27, but the two worked in a timeshare at various points in 2025-26. If Nedeljkovic's play remains strong, he could carve out more time. The Sharks have a tough matchup ahead when they host the Oilers on Saturday.
Celebrini (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Blues, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
Celebrini didn't take the ice for warmups after previously being labeled a game-time decision. This will be his second straight game out of the lineup due to the injury. Celebrini's next chance to play is Saturday at home versus the Oilers.

Sharks' Brett Leason: Waived Thursday
Rotowire
Leason was designated for waivers by the Sharks on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Leason has been a healthy scratch for each of San Jose's first three games and figures to once again watch from the press box against the Blues on Thursday. Once the 27-year-old winger clears waivers, he should be sent down to the minors, which will open up a roster spot for Adam Gaudette (upper body).

Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Making season debut Thursday
Rotowire
Nedeljkovic will guard the road goal in Thursday's contest against the Blues, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Nedeljkovic will lead the Sharks onto the ice for the first time this season after dealing with an illness leading into Opening Night. He's backed up Yaroslav Askarov in all three contests thus far. The 30-year-old Nedeljkovic had a solid first season with San Jose in 2025-26, where he posted an 18-14-4 record, a 2.87 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 40 regular-season outings. If he impresses in his season debut in Thursday's outing against the Blues, the veteran netminder could be in line for more opportunities moving forward with Askarov's shaky start to the campaign.
Celebrini (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Blues, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Celebrini is considered day-to-day after he was a late scratch for Monday's game against the Stars due to a lower-body injury. He participated in Thursday's morning skate after being evaluated over the past few days, but the Sharks will wait to see how he feels in the hours leading up to Thursday's puck drop before determining his status against St. Louis. Ty Dellandrea is a candidate to remain in the lineup if Celebrini is unavailable.
