Media Availability (4/18): Askarov | San Jose Sharks Sharks goaltender Yaroslav Askarov speaks with the media on locker cleanout day following the 2025-26 season.

4 DAYS AGO • NHL.COM

Yields five goals in loss Askarov allowed five goals on 24 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Askarov has skidded to the finish line this season, losing four straight contests (0-3-1) while allowing 19 goals on 128 shots in that span. He dropped to 21-20-4 with a 3.63 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 47 starts this season. Askarov likely won't be asked to make consecutive starts to close out 2025-26 -- look for Alex Nedeljkovic to tend the twine in Winnipeg for the season finale Thursday.

Postgame vs VAN (4/11): Askarov | San Jose Sharks Yaroslav Askarov speaks to the media following the Sharks 4-3 shootout loss to the Vancouver Canucks on April 11, 2026.

APRIL 12 • NHL.COM

Good performance in shootout loss Askarov stopped 38 of 41 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

Impact Askarov has lost his last three outings (0-2-1), but this was a capable performance. The goalie has given up at least three goals in five straight appearances, and those struggles have all but cost the Sharks a chance at a playoff spot. Askarov is down to 21-19-4 with a 3.59 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 46 contests in his first full NHL campaign. There's a lot to like with him in the long run, especially if the Sharks can make some much-needed defensive improvements. They'll close out this season on the road with three games in four days, beginning Monday in Nashville.

First off ice Saturday Askarov was the first netminder off the ice at morning practice, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports, and is slated to defend the home cage versus Vancouver on Saturday.

Impact Askarov is 2-2-0 in his last four starts, but he has allowed 18 goals on 120 shots (.850 save percentage). Askarov is 21-19-3 with a 3.62 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 45 appearances this season. He was supposed to be the Sharks' goalie of the future, but the 23-year-old has not shown any signs of running with the job. The Canucks are last in the NHL standings and have managed a league-low 198 goals in 78 games.

Stumbles again Thursday Askarov allowed six goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Ducks.

Impact Askarov gave up the first hat trick of John Carlson's career in this contest. This was a second straight loss for Askarov, who has allowed 11 goals on 63 shots over those games. The 23-year-old's goaltending simply hasn't been good enough lately to keep the Sharks competitive in the playoff race -- they're now four points back of the Kings for the second wild-card spot, with two teams in between. Askarov is now down to 21-19-3 with a 3.62 GAA and an .883 save percentage across 45 starts. The Sharks will be in must-win mode versus the Canucks on Saturday, and that makes it unclear if Askarov will be the one trusted to take care of the easy matchup.

Starting against Ducks Askarov will get the start in Thursday's road game versus the Ducks, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Askarov has allowed 12 goals on 90 shots over his last three games, though he's come away with a 2-1-0 record in that span. One of those wins came against the Ducks on April 1 when he stopped 28 of 31 shots in a 4-3 victory. He's working the second half of a back-to-back after Alex Nedeljkovic struggled in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.

Falters in important game Askarov stopped 28 of 33 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Predators. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Askarov gave up three goals in the first period, but the Sharks overcame that deficit by the 1:06 mark of the third. After that, Askarov allowed goals to Ryan O'Reilly and Erik Haula (shorthanded), squandering the chance to secure his first win against the team that drafted him 11th overall in 2020. Askarov is down to 21-18-3 with a 3.56 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 44 outings this season. The Sharks' next game is at home Monday versus the Blackhawks.
