Askarov will patrol the visiting crease in Utah on Saturday, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Askarov will probably start Opening Night versus Vegas on Thursday. He has been considered the Sharks' goaltender of the future since being acquired from Nashville in August of 2024. During the 2024-25 regular season, Askarov was 4-6-2 with a 3.10 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 13 appearances with the Sharks in 2024-25. He was superb at the AHL level last year, posting an 11-9-1 mark with a 2.45 GAA and a .923 save percentage in 22 regular-season games.
