The Sharks look to a brighter future after 2nd straight season with the NHL's worst record

The end result wasn’t much different for the San Jose Sharks with a second straight season finishing at the bottom of the NHL standings

APRIL 18 • Associated Press

Available for AHL club Askarov (lower body) traveled with AHL San Jose and will be available for the Barracuda's matchups against Colorado on Friday and Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury...

Impact Askarov sustained a lower-body injury in mid-February but has been practicing recently and will be available to return to game action this weekend. Over 19 AHL appearances this year, he's gone 10-7-1 with a 2.52 GAA and .922 save percentage.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Not dressed for Wednesday's game Askarov (lower body) did not dress for Wednesday's AHL game between San Jose and Ontario, Josh Frojelin of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact All signs pointed to Askarov suiting up after he took warmups, but he was a late scratch. Nonetheless, he's close to a return and may start one of the Barracuda's two games versus AHL Colorado on Friday or Saturday.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Returning in backup role Askarov (lower body) is backing up Gabriel Carriere in AHL San Jose's game Wednesday versus AHL Ontario, Josh Frojelin of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Askarov will dress for the first time since Feb. 19, but he won't be the starter in his return to action. However, it looks like he's close to getting back between the pipes in a game. Given how much time he's missed, it wouldn't be surprising for Askarov to close out 2024-25 in the AHL before competing for an NHL job in training camp.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Hoping to practice soon Askarov (lower body) is expected back on at practice with AHL San Jose in the coming week, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Wednesday.

Impact Askarov won't be ready to rejoin the Sharks until at least the end of March or the start of April -- though the organization may decide to let him finish out the year with the Barracuda instead of bringing him back to the NHL. In his 13 appearances for the Sharks, the 22-year-old backstop went 4-6-2 with a 3.10 GAA and .896 save percentage.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Askarov's status for slumping San Jose Barracuda remains unclear AHL: San Jose Sharks prospect Yaroslav Askarov sustained a lower body injury in Wednesday’s Barracuda game against the Ontario Reign

FEBRUARY 20 • MERCURYNEWS.COM

Suffers injury in AHL game Askarov (lower body) was hurt in Wednesday's game between AHL San Jose and Ontario, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Peng adds that Askarov was favoring his left leg, though an official update on the prospect goaltender was unavailable. In any case, it's likely Askarov won't be available in the short term if the Sharks need to call up a goalie.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to minors Askarov was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Sunday.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Chased early in second period Askarov stopped seven of 11 shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Expected starter for Thursday Askarov is set to start in Thursday's road clash against Seattle, per Max Miller of NHL.com on Wednesday.

Impact Askarov stopped 29 of 30 shots 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 in 12 appearances in 2024-25. Seattle is tied for 17th in goals per game with 2.92.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in win over Pittsburgh Askarov stopped 29 of 30 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact 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 a .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.

Celebrini's goal and Askarov's save on penalty shot lead the Sharks to 2-1 win over the Penguins

Macklin Celebrini scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, Yaroslav Askarov stopped a penalty shot and the San Jose Sharks beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 to snap a...

Facing Pittsburgh Askarov will defend the home cage in Monday's home matchup against the Penguins, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Poor showing in relief Askarov stopped 14 of 17 shots in relief of Alexandar Georgiev in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact 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 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 with this performance. The Sharks' next game is Monday at home versus the Penguins.

JANUARY 25 • NHL.COM

Loses to former team Askarov stopped 32 of 38 shots in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Predators.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 24 • NHL.COM

Slated to face Nashville Askarov is expected to guard the home net against Nashville on Thursday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Allows four goals in loss Askarov stopped 27 of 31 shots in a 6-3 loss to Boston on Monday. The fifth and sixth goals of the game were empty-netters.

Impact 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 dealing with 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.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Boston Askarov will start Monday's road game against Boston, Sheng Peng of San JoseHockeyNow.com reports.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Can't contain Wild's top line Askarov allowed three goals on 22 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.

Impact 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.
