Sharks Still Believe in Askarov, Despite Slow Start

The 2025-26 season has not been kind to Yaroslav Askarov so far, but the San Jose Sharks still believe in the top prospect’s ability and long-term potential.

In his first three games of the season, Askarov has allowed 17 goals on 105 shots, which puts him at a 5.72 GAA and an .838 Save %.

Head coach Ryan Warsofsky stressed Askarov’s relative inexperience. At 23 years old, the Sharks’ netminder has played just 19 career games in the NHL.

He’s right up there with Mack [Celebrini] and Will [Smith] as a young player in this league

is said by Warsofsky. The San Jose Sharks face the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center, and Askarov will get the nod again tonight.
