Askarov was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll tend the twine at home against the Islanders.
Askarov is mired in a three-game losing streak during which he posted a 4.38 GAA and .829 save percentage. Overall, the 24-year-old netminder is 4-8-0 to start the year and could be in danger of missing the 20-win threshold if he can't pick up his game sooner rather than later.
