Askarov's brilliance leads Sharks to win over two-time Cup champion Panthers
"SAN JOSE Yaroslav Askarov made 37 saves, including 12 in a frantic third period, to help the San Jose Sharks pull out a 3-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Saturday night at SAP Center. Macklin Celebrini, Adam Gaudette, and Alexander Wennberg all scored for the Sharks, who killed all five penalties they took thanks to the brilliance of Askarov, who made eight saves while his team was shorthanded."
"The Sharks were coming off an impressive 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday when Celebrini and Smith both scored and goalie Alex Nedeljkovic made 32 saves to help the Sharks win for the sixth time in nine games, improving their record to 6-6-3 after a 0-4-2 start. The victories marked the first time in the team's history that the Sharks had beaten both the Presidents' Trophy winner and the Cup champions in back-to-back games."
Yaroslav Askarov made 37 saves, including 12 in the third period, and stopped eight shorthanded attempts to lead San Jose to a 3-1 victory over Florida at SAP Center. Macklin Celebrini, Adam Gaudette and Alexander Wennberg scored for the Sharks. San Jose killed all five penalties it took and were frustrated by officiating after being assessed five consecutive minors. Gaudette's second-period redirect briefly made it 2-0 before Florida answered 28 seconds later when Marchand collected a loose puck and scored. The Sharks continued a recent streak, improving to 6-6-3 after recent wins.
