Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Stellar in win over Bruins
Askarov stopped 34 of 35 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.
Askarov was kept busy, but he allowed just a Morgan Geekie goal in the middle of the third period. This was Askarov's seventh win in eight outings this month, and it's the fifth time he's allowed exactly one goal during November. The 23-year-old is up to 8-5-1 with a 2.83 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 14 starts. That's already a career-high workload in an NHL season, and it's clear the Sharks' No. 1 job between the pipes will be Askarov's at least until he hits a slump. Fantasy managers may still be wary of his next matchup, as the Sharks are visiting the Avalanche on Wednesday. Askarov defeated Colorado in overtime on Nov. 1 by stopping 36 of 38 shots, though that game was in San Jose.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Getting Sunday start
Askarov will be in net for Sunday's game against the Bruins, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Askarov has been on a November heater for the Sharks, putting up video game numbers. In seven starts this month, the 23-year-old is 6-1-0 with a 1.54 GAA and a .957 save percentage. He'll look to build on those impressive stats Sunday against the Bruins, who have been held to three goals or fewer in five consecutive games.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Escapes with shootout win
Askarov stopped 31 of 34 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.
Askarov picked up his sixth win in his last seven outings despite allowing three goals for the first time in that span. The third tally was Adrian Kempe's game-tying goal at 19:01 of the third period, but Askarov stayed firm and turned aside all three of the Kings' shootout attempts after not facing a shot in overtime. The 23-year-old netminder improved to 7-5-1 with a 2.97 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 13 appearances. The Sharks' next two games are at home in a back-to-back set versus the Senators on Saturday and the Bruins on Sunday. Expect Askarov and Alex Nedeljkovic to split those starts.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Exits ice first
Askarov was the first goalie off the ice ahead of Thursday's home matchup with Los Angeles, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes.
Askarov has been hard to beat of late, going 5-1-0 with a 1.31 GAA in his last six contests. With the 23-year-old netminder on top of his game, he figures to see plenty of work ahead of Alex Nedeljkovic. Through just 12 outings, Askarov has already set a new personal best with six wins and should be capable of challenging for the 20-win threshold at least.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Wins in overtime
Askarov stopped 24 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.
Askarov allowed more than one goal for the first time in five outings, but Macklin Celebrini's hat trick lifted the Sharks to the win. Askarov has taken leaps forward this year alongside the rest of the young Sharks, and he's played his way into being a reliable fantasy goalie. The 23-year-old is at 6-5-1 with a 2.99 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 12 starts. The Sharks will get a firm test in their next game, which is at home versus the Kings on Thursday.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Scheduled to face Utah
Askarov was the first netminder off at morning skate, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports, which indicates he'll guard the home cage Tuesday versus the Mammoth.
Askarov has been tremendous lately after a slow start to the campaign, but his four-game winning streak was snapped during his last start in Calgary on Thursday. Still, he stopped 34 of 35 shots in that game but didn't receive any offensive support in a 2-0 loss. To put things in perspective, the 2020 first-round pick has a 1.19 GAA and an otherworldly .965 save percentage across his last five outings, so he'll look to get back in the win column Tuesday after receiving the night off Saturday in Seattle. The Mammoth are coming off a 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks on Monday, so the Sharks have the clear rest advantage.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: On wrong side of shutout
Askarov stopped 34 of 35 shots in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Flames. The second goal was an empty-netter.
Blake Coleman created a turnover and scored at 5:46 of the second period for the only goal that got past Askarov. While this was the end of Askarov's four-game winning streak, he still put forth an excellent performance. He's now allowed exactly one goal in four straight outings. For the season, the 23-year-old is 5-5-1 with a 3.09 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 11 starts. The Sharks' next game is Saturday in Seattle, and if Alex Nedeljkovic (personal) isn't back with the team by then, it's safe to assume Askarov will make another start.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Tending twine Thursday
Askarov will patrol the crease on the road against the Flames on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Askarov is riding a four-game winning streak during which he posted a 1.23 GAA and a .963 save percentage. After an underwhelming start to the year, in which the 23-year-old netminder recorded a disastrous 4.69 GAA, it seems Askarov has rediscovered his form.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Winning streak at four games
Askarov stopped 28 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Wild.
Askarov was a late choice to start the game -- earlier in the day, Alex Nedeljkovic was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate. Despite the short notice, Askarov delivered an excellent performance in his fourth straight win. During the streak, he's allowed a total of five goals on 136 shots, with two of the wins coming in overtime. Overall, the 23-year-old is really starting to find a groove at the NHL level. He's up to 5-4-1 with a 3.29 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 10 outings, but he's trending straight up during the Sharks' hot stretch. They've got a couple of favorable road matchups on deck, as they visit the Flames on Thursday and the Kraken on Saturday.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Tending twine Tuesday
Askarov will defend the road net against Minnesota on Tuesday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Askarov is coming off a 38-save performance in Saturday's 3-1 win over Florida. He has won three straight outings to improve to 4-4-1 this season while surrendering 32 goals on 287 shots. Minnesota ranks 20th in the league with 2.88 goals per game this campaign.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Takes down defending champs
Askarov stopped 37 of 38 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
Askarov extended his winning streak to three games with another stellar performance. He's allowed just four goals on 106 shots over those three wins, which is part of a larger 5-0-1 stretch for the Sharks. Askarov has improved to 4-4-1 with a 3.56 GAA and an .888 save percentage over nine outings, though he's clearly trending in the right direction. There may still be some volatility with a young Sharks team, but the 23-year-old netminder getting a taste of success should be beneficial in the big picture. If the Sharks continue alternating goalies, Alex Nedeljkovic will start Tuesday in Minnesota, while Askarov would get Thursday's game in Calgary.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: In goal Saturday
Askarov will start at home versus the Panthers on Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Askarov won his last start with 28 saves on 29 shots in a 6-1 victory over the Kraken on Wednesday. He's getting the second half of a back-to-back after Alex Nedeljkovic was in goal for Friday's 2-1 win over the Jets. The Panthers have scored 19 goals over their last six games.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Wins in consecutive starts
Askarov stopped 28 of 29 shots in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Kraken.
Askarov has now won three of his last four outings. He's been sharp in his past two victories, stopping 64 of 67 shots to take down the Avalanche and Kraken. Askarov is up to 3-4-1 with a 3.88 GAA and an .874 save percentage over eight outings this season. He had a stretch where he started three consecutive games, but he has returned to alternating starts with Alex Nedeljkovic. Both goalies should get a turn between the pipes with an upcoming back-to-back set, as the Sharks host the Jets on Friday and the Panthers on Saturday.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Expected to start Wednesday
Askarov is set to start on the road against Seattle on Wednesday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.
Askarov has a 2-4-1 record, 4.29 GAA and .862 save percentage through seven outings in the 2025-26 campaign. While he's had some rough appearances, he did stop 36 of 38 shots to earn a 3-2 overtime victory over Colorado in his last start Saturday. Seattle is 6-2-4 and ranks 24th in goals per game with 2.75.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Nabs second win
Askarov made 37 saves in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche.
Martin Necas slipped the puck past Askarov just 30 seconds into the game. However, the 23-year-old netminder kept his composure and technically didn't let another shot beat him on the afternoon -- a goal was awarded to Nathan MacKinnon in the second period after the net behind Askarov was knocked off its pegs. The win was Askarov's second of the season, with both coming in his last three starts. Through seven outings, he sports a 4.15 GAA and an .867 save percentage to go with his 2-4-1 record.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Slated starter Saturday
Askarov is expected to start at home against Colorado on Saturday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.
Askarov has a 1-4-1 record, 4.69 GAA and .844 save percentage in six outings this year. The 23-year-old has surrendered four or more goals in five of his six appearances. Colorado is 7-1-4 and ranks second in goals per game with 3.75, so this is a very tough assignment for the young goaltender.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Not sharp enough Tuesday
Askarov allowed four goals on 14 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.
The Sharks dominated possession, but Askarov wasn't good enough on the few chances the Kings accumulated. The four goals didn't even come from the Kings' best players. It was a pair of fourth-liners and two defensemen who carried the offense. Askarov continues to offer subpar goaltending, though this is part of the growing pains as the Sharks attempt to become more competitive. He is 1-4-1 with a 4.69 GAA and an .844 save percentage this season. The Sharks host the Devils on Thursday.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Leaves ice first
Askarov was the first goalie off Tuesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus the Kings.
Askarov will make his third straight appearance between the pipes for the Sharks after having split the opening seven games with Alex Nedeljkovic. With a 1-3-1 record and a 4.80 GAA, it's a little surprising Askarov is continuing to get a heavier workload. A back-to-back versus the Avs and Wings on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, should give both netminders some work in the coming days.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Earns win despite subpar showing
Askarov stopped 28 of 33 shots in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Wild.
Askarov allowed five or more goals for the third time across five starts this season. The 23-year-old netminder, who started consecutive games for the first time Friday and Sunday, might return to the bench ahead of Tuesday's game against the Kings since the Sharks have been rotating netminders regularly so far this season. Askarov hasn't inspired a ton of confidence between the pipes, either -- he's gone 1-3-1 with a 4.80 GAA and an .855 save percentage in his five starts so far.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Starting Sunday in Minny
Askarov will start Sunday's game against the Wild, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Askarov will start consecutive games for the first time this season after participating in a true 50-50 split with Alex Nedeljkovic to begin the season. The 23-year-old is coming off of a strong performance against the red-hot Devils, stopping 26 of 28 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss. He will face a Wild team that's struggling offensively this season, particularly at even strength. Minnesota has just 10 goals at 5-on-5 this season, tied for the fewest in the league.
