In their first game back from the Olympic break, the Sharks will turn to Askarov to tend the twine on Thursday against the Calgary Flames. The 23-year-old Askarov battled some adversity heading into the break and hopes the extended rest can help him return to form. Since the beginning of December, Askarov has allowed fewer than three goals only once in 19 appearances (8-9-1), posting an ugly 4.07 GAA and .868 SV%. The Sharks enter Thursday's contest as -123 home favourites against a Flames team that already had the least potent offence in the NHL (2.54 GF / GP) and is now without Jonathan Huberdeau (hip) for the remainder of the season.

Askarov had a forgetful outing in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, allowing four goals on 10 shots (.600 SV%) before being replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic. The Sharks have continued to flirt with Wild Card positioning for most of the season, but have not received exemplary goaltending from Askarov in recent weeks.

Askarov allowed four goals on 32 shots (.875 SV%) in his previous outing, a 4-3 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers, but he hopes to rebound on Monday against the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Sharks enter Monday's contest as slight -109 road favourites against a Blackhawks team on a five-game losing streak (0-3-2).

Askarov was solid in his previous outing, saving 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. The win snapped an ugly stretch for the 23-year-old goalie, where he had allowed three or more goals in 15 consecutive outings (7-8-0). The Sharks enter the action on Thursday as +162 road underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers team that has been surging offensively, scoring five or more goals in four of their last six games (4-2-0).

Askarov has lost four of his last five (1-4-0), posting an ugly 3.65 GAA and .836 SV%.

In his last 13 games (7-6-0), the 23-year-old Askarov has an ugly 3.64 GAA and .865 SV%. The Sharks enter Friday’s contest as +158 road underdogs against a Detroit Red Wings team whose four-game winning streak was snapped on Tuesday in a 3-0 loss to the Boston Bruins.

He draws a solid matchup vs. the Canucks on Saturday, but they'll be getting Elias Pettersson back tonight and the Sharks are +128 road underdogs.
