Yaroslav Askarov News

The Sharks' late-season push for a playoff spot came up short earlier this week, and they head into their final game of the regular season on Wednesday, with Askarov tending the twine against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 23-year-old Askarov was solid in his previous outing, saving 38 of 41 shots (.927 SV%) in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Vancouver Canucks. That said, Askarov has struggled with consistency this season, as evidenced by the 4.16 GAA and .870 SV% he has in his last five games (2-2-1). The Sharks enter Wednesday's contest as -115 road favourites against a Blackhawks team that has been outscored 17-6 in its last three games (0-3-0).

Askarov allowed six goals on 30 shots in the Sharks lineup in Anaheim on Thursday. Askarov has struggled in his last two starts, allowing 11 goals on 63 shots (.825 SV%) in back-to-back losses. Despite his recent struggles, Askarov comes into Saturday's game with strong streamer appeal. The Sharks are -201 home favourites vs. the Canucks.

Askarov will be back between the pipes for the Sharks tonight after Alex Nedeljkovic got the nod in the front-end of their back-to-back on Wednesday. Askarov had a rough outing in his last start, allowing five goals on 33 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Predators on Saturday. The 23-year-old netminder has appeared in 44 games for the Sharks this season, logging a 21-18-3 record and an .885 SV%. Askarov and the Sharks enter action on Thursday at +135 on the money line.

Askarov has battled through injuries recently and completed his first full game in nearly three weeks on Tuesday, saving 22 of 26 shots (.846 SV%) in a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Blues. Askarov was far from stellar in his return to action, but came up big when called upon, helping the Sharks stay within reach of a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Sharks will need Askarov to make timely saves again on Wednesday, entering the action as slight -103 home underdogs against an Anaheim Ducks team on a two-game losing streak (0-1-1).

Askarov was excellent in his return from a multi-week absence due to a lower-body injury, but he only lasted half the game before exiting with a new, unrelated injury. The 23-year-old Askarov saved all 11 shots he faced on Thursday before exiting the eventual 2-1 overtime loss to the St. Louis Blues. That said, his absence will be short-lived this time, returning to the crease on Monday in a rematch against the Blues. The Sharks enter Monday's contest with even -105 odds at home.

It's unclear how long Askarov will be sidelined, but expect the Sharks to continue rolling with Alex Nedeljkovic during his absence.

Askarov has not played in over two weeks, tending to a lower-body injury, but he will return to the crease on Thursday, hoping to stabilize a shaky crease for the Sharks. The Sharks have lost five straight games without Askarov, allowing four or more goals in each contest. That said, the 23-year-old Askarov has been far from a stabilizing force in recent outings, posting a 3.99 GAA and .869 SV% in seven games (2-4-1) since the beginning of February. The Sharks enter Thursday's contest as +118 road underdogs against a St. Louis Blues team that has outscored their opposition 6-1 during a two-game winning streak.

Askarov has not played in nearly two weeks, but is nearing a return after practicing on Monday. The 23-year-old Askarov has had an inconsistent 2025-26 season, but the Sharks will be eager to get him back in the crease if, at the very least, just to switch things up after going 2-4-0 in his absence.

With Alex Nedeljkovic already confirmed as the Sharks' starting goalie for Thursday's game against the Boston Bruins, the Sharks announce Askarov will be able to serve as his backup. It does not seem as though Askarov's injury is a long-term concern, given that he was not immediately ruled out of the game.

It does not seem as though Askarov's injury is a long-term concern, given that he has not been completely ruled out of the game.

The Sharks have run into some goal-scoring difficulties in recent games, which resulted in a loss for Askarov in his previous outing despite an outstanding 32-save performance (.941 SV%) in a 2-1 overtime loss to the New York Islanders. The 23-year-old Askarov has lost five of his last seven outings (2-3-2), posting an ugly 3.82 GAA and .878 SV%. The Sharks enter Tuesday's contest as +177 road underdogs against the Atlantic Division-leading Buffalo Sabres, who have scored three or more goals in six consecutive games (6-0-0).
