Askarov signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Sharks on Friday, per PuckPedia.
Askarov was acquired in a trade with the Predators earlier in the day, and general manager Mike Grier didn't waste any time in getting the goalie into the Sharks' plans through 2026-27. The 22-year-old goalie is 1-1-0 with six goals allowed on 70 shots over three NHL appearances. Expect Askarov to have every chance to win the No. 1 job in San Jose in training camp, and if he proves to be NHL ready, he could jump-start the team's rebuild.
