Askarov made 17 saves in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Edmonton.

The young netminder didn't get much offensive support. He also gave up at least three goals for a fourth straight start to begin the season. Askarov has a 2-2-0 record, but his .860 save percentage leaves a lot to be desired and could open the door for Alex Nedeljkovic to take on more of the work in the crease.
