Yaroslav Askarov's highly anticipated debut with the Sharks is likely approaching, as he backs up Mackenzie Blackwood during a road trip with uncertain goalie health.
Sharks' coach Ryan Warsofsky indicated that Vitek Vanecek remains day-to-day with an injury, leaving Askarov as a strong candidate to start soon.
Askarov was recalled at the beginning of the week after a remarkable stint in the AHL, where he recorded a .939 save percentage and two shutouts.
Acquired from the Predators, Askarov's strong performance with the Barracuda reflects his potential as one of the top goalie prospects.
