San Jose Sharks News

Askarov's outstanding November came to an end in San Jose's most recent game, allowing four goals on 19 shots (.789 SV%) before being pulled in an eventual 6-0 loss to the powerhouse Colorado Avalanche. Before that, Askarov was nearly perfect on an eight-game stretch (7-1-0), posting a sensational 1.50 GAA and .955 SV%. The Sharks look to rebound on Friday against a struggling Vancouver Canucks team that snapped a three-game losing skid on Wednesday with a 5-4 win over the Anaheim Ducks.

After an awful 0-4-2 start to the season, the Sharks have turned things around and find themselves flirting with playoff contention after a subsequent 11-5-1 stretch. Much of their success can be attributed to the outstanding play of Askarov, who will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Colorado Avalanche. The 23-year-old Askarov has allowed two or fewer goals in seven of his last eight games (7-1-0), posting a terrific 1.50 GAA and .955 SV%. That said, the Sharks enter Wednesday's contest as significant +317 road underdogs against the league-leading Avalanche, who are riding a nine-game winning streak.

Comrie has started both games since Connor Hellebuyck (knee) announced out for the next 4-6 weeks, but has not produced favourable results in those games (0-2-0), allowing seven goals on 58 combined shots (.879 SV%). The 30-year-old Comrie has a 2.87 GAA and .899 SV% through seven games this season (4-3-0). He has never started more than 20 games in a season, a total that he should have no problem surpassing in 2025-26. The Jets enter Wednesday's contest as +129 road underdogs against a Washington Capitals team that has scored five or more goals in three of their last four games (3-1-0).

Toffoli could be at risk of missing his first game of the season on Wednesday as he is battling an illness. The 33-year-old Toffoli snapped a five game pointless skid in his most recent game, tallying an assist. He has 12 points (5G / 7A) in 23 games this season.

With Connor Hellebuyck sidelined for several weeks after undergoing a minor Arthroscopic knee procedure, Comrie will likely see a heavy workload for the Jets, starting with Friday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Comrie started a career-high 20 games last season, a total he will surely surpass with Hellebuyck out of the lineup. The 30-year-old Comrie has been solid in limited action this season, posting a 2.60 GAA and .908 SV% in five games (4-1-0). The Jets enter Friday's contest as +138 road underdogs against a Hurricanes team that has points in eight of its last 10 games (6-2-2).

The Sharks have been impressive lately, going 7-2-1 in their last 10, and will continue to roll with Askarov between the pipes on Thursday when they host the Los Angeles Kings. Askarov struggled to start the season, but has been other-worldly lately, allowing two or fewer goals in six straight (5-1-0) while posting an absurd .959 SV%. The 23-year-old goalie has a 2.99 GAA and .905 SV% in 12 games this season (6-5-1). The Sharks enter Thursday's contest as +152 home underdogs against a Kings team that leads the Pacific Division despite being in the bottom half of the league offensively (2.8 GF/GP).

The Jets have struggled to string wins together over the past few weeks, going 5-5-0 in their last 10, and will turn to Comrie on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Comrie has not played much this season and struggled in his most recent outing, allowing four goals on 21 shots (.810 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks, his first loss of the season. The 30-year-old Comrie has a 2.75 GAA and .908 SV% in four games this season (3-1-0). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as -181 home favorites against a Blue Jackets team that defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 in a shootout last night.

Askarov has not allowed more than one goal in any of his last four starts (.970 SV%) and will look to keep his success going as he hosts Utah on Tuesday. Despite winning three of his last four games, Askarov's season has been the tale of two stories, with his 5-5-1 record, 3.09 GAA and .906 SV%. He will take on the Utah Mammoth, who have struggled as of late, dropping five of their last six games.

John Klingberg will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Utah Mammoth, allowing Dickinson to re-enter the lineup. The 19-year-old Dickinson last played on November 13th. He has two points (1G / 1A) in 14 games this season.

Kesselring did not make his season debut until late October and will be sidelined again after suffering an injury over the weekend. He was seen leaving the arena in a walking boot and is expected to be out of the lineup indefinitely. The 25-year-old Kesselring was averaging 15:37 time-on-ice and scored zero points through nine games before his injury.
