Yaroslav Askarov's development as a goalie is being prioritized by the Sharks, as he is sent to the AHL for consistent playing time and skill improvement.
Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky emphasized Askarov's need to refine his puck-handling skills while also adjusting to the increased pace in the NHL compared to the AHL.
Warsofsky indicated that Askarov's initial struggles, like the turnover leading to an early goal against the Blues, are part of his learning process towards becoming a more reliable player.
Askarov will return to the San Jose Barracuda as their No. 1 goalie, where he previously demonstrated strong performance with a .939 save percentage.
