Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Can't stop herd of buffalo
Askarov made 20 saves in a 6-3 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday. He allowed five goals.

San Jose is one point behind the Seattle Kraken for the second wild-card spot in the West. Since Feb. 2, Askarov is 2-4-1 with 26 goals allowed (.869 save percentage). Overall, he continues to develop, putting up a 19-17-3 record with a 3.56 GAA and .886 save percentage.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Comes up short in overtime
Askarov stopped 32 of 34 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Askarov put in a good effort, but Bo Horvat's goal 4:20 into overtime gave the Sharks a loss. Askarov has allowed 14 goals over four games since the Olympic break, going 2-1-1 in those contests. For the season, the 23-year-old netminder is at a 19-16-3 record with a 3.52 GAA and an .887 save percentage in 39 starts. A busy part of the schedule has seen the Sharks switch to alternating goalies, which may be best for Askarov down the stretch as he has struggled during stretches with a heavier workload. The Sharks begin a road trip in Buffalo on Tuesday.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Facing Islanders
Askarov will guard the home goal versus the Islanders on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Askarov will get the second half of a back-to-back after Alex Nedeljkovic was in goal for Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues. The Sharks have started to alternate goalies, with this being Askarov's third start in the last five games, though that may be influenced by a pair of back-to-back sets. The Islanders have lost their last two games, scoring a total of four goals.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Wins tough game Tuesday
Askarov allowed five goals on 37 shots in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Canadiens.
It wasn't a pretty outing, as the Sharks blew a 5-2 lead at one point, but Askarov was able to get his second win in a row. He's still allowed at least three goals in six straight outings, going 2-3-1 in that span. For the season, the 23-year-old netminder is up to 19-16-2 with a 3.57 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 38 starts. Askarov is a risky option in most fantasy formats, but he's still seeing a majority of the starts over Alex Nedeljkovic, so the former's value comes mainly from usage rather than performance.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Hangs on for win Saturday
Askarov made 20 saves in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.
It wasn't pretty, but Askarov did just enough to secure his 18th win of the season, and first since Jan. 27, after the Sharks had taken a 3-1 lead in the first period. The 23-year-old netminder needs all the offensive support he can get right now -- Askarov has allowed at least three goals in 20 of 21 outings since the beginning of December, going 9-10-1 with a rough 4.02 GAA and .868 save percentage.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Tending twine Saturday
Askarov will patrol the home crease in Saturday's clash with Edmonton, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Askarov will get the nod for his second start since the Olympic break, and his fourth in a row dating back to the beginning of February. He has gone winless over his last four outings with an .874 save percentage, which is marginally lower than his season average. Across 36 appearances this campaign, the 23-year-old netminder has a 17-16-2 record, a 3.52 GAA and an .888 save percentage. He'll have a tough task in net Saturday against an Edmonton team that ranks third in the NHL with 3.52 goals per game in 2025-26.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Takes another loss
Askarov stopped 25 of 28 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flames. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Askarov took his third straight regulation loss, a span in which he's allowed 10 goals on 79 shots. The 23-year-old has been skidding for much of 2026, holding an opponent under three goals just once in 10 appearances since the start of the new year. For the season, Askarov has a 17-16-2 record with a 3.52 GAA and an .888 save percentage in 36 starts. It would take a lot for the Sharks to mount a playoff push, so Askarov and Alex Nedeljkovic may share the crease down the stretch. Both goalies should start this weekend, as the Sharks host the Oilers on Saturday and the Jets on Sunday.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Between pipes Thursday
Askarov will tend the twine at home against the Flames on Thursday, Sheng Peng of SanJoseHockeyNow.com reports.
Askarov has lost six of his last seven outings, posting a 1-5-1 record and 3.89 GAA. With the 23-year-old backstop struggling, the Sharks could give some more starts to Alex Nedeljkovic, but they'll likely continue to rely on Askarov in at least a split share of the starts.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Struggles continue Wednesday
Askarov stopped 38 of 41 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Askarov continues to struggle when called upon, but to be fair, the Avalanche have one of the top offenses in the league. The 23-year-old enters the Olympic break on a sour note since he's gone 2-5-1 with a 4.09 GAA and a subpar .858 save percentage in his last nine appearances.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Defending road crease Wednesday
Askarov will tend the twine for Wednesday's road game against Colorado, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Askarov has largely struggled over the past few weeks, going 1-4-1 with a 4.04 GAA and .844 save percentage over his last six starts. He was pulled from Monday's loss to Chicago midway through the second period but will return to the crease Wednesday for the Sharks' final game before the Olympic break. The Avalanche lead the league with 3.83 goals per game this season.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Chased from crease in Chicago
Askarov gave up four goals on 10 shots before being replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic midway through the second period of Monday's 6-3 loss to Chicago.
None of the goals against Askarov could really be pinned on him, and San Jose's defensive play didn't improve after head coach Ryan Warsofsky made the switch in the crease. Nonetheless, it continued a rough stretch for Askarov that has seen the 23-year-old netminder go 2-4-1 in eight outings since the beginning of January with a 4.24 GAA and an .842 save percentage.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: First goalie off Monday
Askarov was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports, indicating he'll guard the cage on the road versus Chicago.
Askarov has picked up just one win in his last five outings, going 1-3-1 with a 3.65 GAA and .863 save percentage in that span. The 23-year-old netminder has been splitting the workload with Alex Nedeljkovic since the start of January, but Askarov could be in danger of losing playing time if he continues to struggle.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Lets lead slip away
Askarov allowed four goals on 32 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Askarov was spotted a 3-0 lead in the first period, but things unraveled for the netminder in the third. The Oilers tied the game, scoring twice with an extra attacker in the last 3:05 of regulation before Zach Hyman completed Edmonton's comeback at 1:06 of overtime. Askarov has had a few rough outings in recent weeks, but this was a tough way to lose, especially since he was making consecutive starts for the first time since a run of six straight games between Dec. 20 and Jan. 3. The 23-year-old netminder is now 17-13-2 with a 3.47 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 33 starts. It wouldn't be surprising to see Alex Nedeljkovic get the nod Saturday in Calgary.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Patrolling crease versus Oilers
Askarov will be in goal on the road versus Edmonton on Thursday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Askarov will be making consecutive appearances in the crease for the first time since early January. In his last five outings, the 23-year-old backstop has posted a 2-3-0 record and 3.43 GAA. The move to break from an alternating rotation is a bit surprising, considering Alex Nedeljkovic is riding a five-game winning streak.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Cruises to win
Askarov allowed two goals on 25 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Askarov gave up the first goal of the game, but the Sharks responded quickly with three tallies, which was all the support he needed. The 23-year-old netminder snapped his three-game losing streak with this effort, and he allowed fewer than three goals for the first time since Nov. 28, which was also against the Canucks. Askarov is 17-13-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 32 appearances. The Sharks' road trip continues in Edmonton on Thursday, which could be a start for Alex Nedeljkovic if head coach Ryan Warsofsky continues to rotate his goalies.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Set to start Tuesday
