Yaroslav Askarov awaits his San Jose Sharks debut as goalie Mackenzie Blackwood starts against Dallas, while Vitek Vanecek remains day-to-day with injury.
Askarov, recalled from the AHL, has shown impressive performance with a .939 save percentage, raising expectations for his eventual debut with the Sharks.
Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky hasn't confirmed whether Blackwood will start against the Blues, indicating that Askarov could be the next option.
The Sharks' solid goaltending this season hasn't reduced anticipation for Askarov's debut, especially following his strong early-season stats with the Barracuda.
