Askarov stopped 25 of 29 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Wild.
This was a tough matchup on paper, and Askarov wasn't able to flip the script as Kirill Kaprizov (four points) and Quinn Hughes (three points) dominated the contest. This was a third straight regulation loss for Askarov, who has allowed 13 goals on 77 shots in that span. He's now at a 4-8-0 record with a 3.35 GAA and an .885 save percentage for the season. Expect Alex Nedeljkovic to get the nod in Dallas on Saturday.
