Tending twine in Detroit Askarov will defend the road crease against Detroit on Friday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Askarov and Alex Nedeljkovic have alternated starts over the past week and a half, and that trend will continue in Friday's matchup. Askarov struggled during his home start against the Golden Knights on Sunday, allowing six goals on 31 shots (.806 save percentage) in a 7-2 loss.

Struggles in loss Askarov stopped 26 of 32 shots in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights, who also had one empty-netter.

Impact Askarov and the Sharks were down only 2-1 after one period, but the Golden Knights scored three times in the second to take over the game. While he hasn't been very good lately, Askarov has rarely been this bad between the pipes all year aside from the first few weeks. He's down to a 16-11-1 record with a 3.54 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 29 appearances. The Sharks are off until Thursday, when they start a back-to-back against the Capitals before continuing the road trip Friday in Detroit. Askarov and Alex Nedeljkovic are likely to split those starts and the two after that (Jan. 19 versus the Panthers and Jan. 20 versus the Lightning) to deal with the four-game road trip.

Taking on the Knights Askarov will be the starting goaltender Sunday against the Golden Knights, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Since his torrid month of November, Askarov has allowed at least three goals in 12 straight starts. As a result, his numbers have taken a bit of a dip. The 23-year-old is 16-10-1 on the season with a 3.44 GAA and an .893 save percentage. The Golden Knights enter Sunday winners of three straight games, scoring at least four goals in each contest.

Claims overtime win Askarov stopped 23 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.

Impact Askarov won his fourth straight decision and bounced back from his poor outing versus the Lightning on Saturday. The 23-year-old needed this win since Alex Nedeljkovic played well Tuesday against the Blue Jackets. Askarov is up to 16-10-1 with a 3.44 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 28 starts this season. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky hasn't hesitated to let Askarov play through slumps at times, and getting a stretch of wins despite lackluster performances should help the Russian netminder hold onto the No. 1 job.

Set to start Wednesday Askarov will protect the road goal versus the Kings on Wednesday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Askarov got pulled from his last outing after giving up three goals on 10 shots versus the Lightning on Saturday. He'll now handle the second half of a back-to-back after Alex Nedeljkovic earned a win Tuesday over the Blue Jackets. The Kings have scored 21 goals over their last six games.

Pulled after early team collapse Askarov allowed three goals on 10 shots before being replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic early in the first period of Saturday's 7-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

Impact The bottom line was simple -- the Sharks were not ready to play at puck drop and that left Askarov completely alone on most plays. The southpaw had won three straight games with an .891 save percentage. Overall, Askarov is 15-10-1, but his 3.46 GAA and .895 save percentage are both below league average. It's not really a surprise -- the young Sharks are fun to watch and score a lot of goals, but they are as porous as a sieve in their own zone.

Facing Lightning Askarov will patrol the home crease against Tampa Bay on Saturday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Despite allowing 10 goals on 92 shots, Askarov has won his last three outings. He has a 15-10-1 record this season with a 3.35 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 26 appearances. Tampa Bay is tied for fourth in the league with 3.35 goals per game this campaign.

Hangs on in shootout win Askarov turned aside 20 of 23 shots on net in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Wild.

Impact Askarov was able to help the Sharks outlast the Wild even after he surrendered two goals in the third period. He was only needed for two attempts in the shootout, as he saved both attempts he saw from Mats Zuccarello and Matt Boldy. With the shootout win, Askarov is up to a 15-10-1 record with a 3.36 GAA and a .897 save percentage across 26 appearances this season. The 23-year-old netminder has won each of his last three outings and five of his last seven appearances despite allowing three goals or more in each game. While the run-and-gun style of the Sharks affects Askarov's GAA in the long term, the team is on pace to win enough games to keep its primary netminder in the top 10 wins this season, barring injury. Askarov offers sustainable value in fantasy with an even higher ceiling if he can clean up his high GAA.

Set to face Minnesota Askarov is set to start at home against Minnesota on Wednesday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Askarov has a 14-10-1 record, 3.38 GAA and .897 save percentage in 25 outings in 2025-26. He's surrendered at least three goals in each of his past nine appearances. Minnesota is in a three-way tie for 14th in goals per game with 3.08.

Fends off Ducks Askarov stopped 38 of 42 shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.

Impact It wasn't the prettiest performance, but Askarov was able to hold off the Sharks' in-state rivals in a thrilling game between two teams on the rise. This was Askarov's second win in a row, though he gave up three-plus goals for a ninth straight outing. He's up to a 14-10-1 record, but his GAA rose to 3.38 with an .898 save percentage over 25 starts. The 23-year-old continues to function as the Sharks' top goalie, and it looks like head coach Ryan Warsofsky is going to let Askarov play through his recent struggles. The Sharks have another big test coming up when they host the Wild on Wednesday in a New Year's Eve matinee game.

Macklin Celebrini hits 60 points with goal, 2 assists in Sharks' 5-4 victory over Ducks

Macklin Celebrini became the third player to score 60 points this season with a goal and two assists in the San Jose Sharks’ 5-4 victory over the Anaheim Ducks

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • Associated Press

Set to start Monday Askarov was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports, indicating he will defend the road net against Anaheim on Monday.

Impact Askarov is coming off a 24-save performance in Saturday's 6-3 win over Vancouver. He has earned a 13-10-1 record this season with a 3.35 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 24 appearances. Anaheim ranks fourth in the league with 3.32 goals per game this year.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gets back in win column Askarov stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact Askarov entered the holiday break with consecutive losses. While he allowed at least three goals for the eighth outing in a row, the 23-year-old was able to get in the win column with a burst of offense from his teammates. He improved to 13-10-1 with a 3.35 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 24 starts this season. Askarov's letting in too many tallies to be trusted in shallow fantasy formats, but he's still getting enough playing time to have widespread value. The Sharks' next game is Monday versus the Ducks.

Set to face Canucks Askarov will guard the road goal against Vancouver on Saturday, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Askarov has lost his last two outings while allowing seven goals on 47 shots. He has a 12-10-1 record this season with 3.37 GAA and .897 save percentage across 23 appearances. Vancouver sits 25th in the league with 2.78 goals per game this year.

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pulled in first period Askarov allowed four goals on 16 shots in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact 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.

Impact Askarov has allowed three goals or more in each of his last six appearances, posting a 3-3-0 record over that span. He has gone 12-9-1 this season with a 3.22 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 22 outings. Vegas sits 18th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this year.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Loses to Kraken Askarov stopped 28 of 31 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact 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.
