San Jose Sharks are focusing on strengthening their goaltending depth ahead of next season, with Yaroslav Askarov anticipated as the starting goalie, health permitting. The team must consider whether to re-sign Alexandar Georgiev or explore other options. Goalie Georgi Romanov is expected to compete for a contract in his first NHL start against Carolina. The Sharks' current goaltending has been subpar, reflected in poor stats that highlight the need for improvement for better performance next season.
Assuming he's healthy, goalie Yaroslav Askarov will likely be on the San Jose Sharks roster at the start of next season, perhaps even as the team's opening night starter.
Romanov, who, in 21 games with the Barracuda this season, went 11-6-3 with a .905 save percentage, will aim to showcase his abilities in upcoming games.
The Sharks entered Wednesday with a league-worst 3.66 goals against average and a save percentage of .883, tied for 29th in the NHL.
To illustrate the importance of the position, Warsofsky pointed to a recent game, emphasizing that goaltending significantly influences the overall outcome of the game.
