Yaroslav Askarov's NHL debut with the San Jose Sharks is imminent as he backs up Mackenzie Blackwood on a road trip, showcasing his promising AHL performance.
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky mentioned Vitek Vanecek's day-to-day status due to an upper-body injury, creating an opportunity for Askarov to potentially start against the Blues.
Askarov, acquired from the Predators, has made a significant impact in the AHL, boasting a 6-3-0 record, a .939 save percentage, and two shutouts.
The Sharks have received solid goaltending this season, yet the anticipation for Askarov's debut only increases after his stellar performances with the Barracuda.
