Askarov will start Thursday's home game against the Canucks, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Askarov hasn't gotten much offensive support over the past week and a half, as he's gone 1-2-0 across his last three starts despite posting a 1.68 GAA and .956 save percentage during that time. The Canucks have logged 3.07 goals per game to begin the regular season, which ranks 16th in the NHL.
