Yaroslav Askarov, top goalie prospect for the San Jose Sharks, is expected to return from injury on Wednesday for the AHL Barracuda. After sustaining a lower-body injury on February 19, Askarov participated fully in team practice and is set to play against the Ontario Reign. His presence is crucial after the Barracuda's poor performance, marked by back-to-back 5-1 losses. Alongside him, new defenseman Axel Landen has joined the Barracuda from Sweden, although he will likely not make his debut this week. The Barracuda need wins to secure playoff positioning.
Goalie Yaroslav Askarov is set to return from injury, enhancing the San Jose Barracuda's lineup as they face the Ontario Reign this Wednesday.
Askarov's return follows a lower-body injury that sidelined him since February 19, when he last played against the Reign.
After enduring consecutive 5-1 losses, Askarov's performance will be critical for the Barracuda, who are aiming for playoff position in the Pacific Division.
Alongside Askarov, newly arrived defenseman Axel Landen, a 2023 fifth-round draft pick, will join the Barracuda but is not expected to play immediately.
