NHL: San Jose Sharks begin two-game road trip against the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night at American Airlines Center
San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky keeps an eye on the game against the Vegas Golden Knights in the second period of their preseason game at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024. Yaroslav Askarov’s San Jose Sharks debut will have to wait. But for perhaps not much longer.
Askarov, who was recalled from the Barracuda of the AHL at the start of the week, will back up Blackwood for the second straight game. The Sharks are staying with the same lineup they had Monday when they beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-4 in overtime. Warsofsky wouldn’t say who would start Thursday against the Blues. But it would be unusual to start the same goalie on back-to-back nights on the road, and it wouldn’t seem prudent to play Vanecek if he wasn’t 100% healthy.
The Sharks have received solid goaltending for most of this season, but that hasn’t slowed down anticipation as to when Askarov, one of the AHL’s top goalie prospects, would first play with the team. Askarov, in one of general manager Mike Grier’s most notable transactions this offseason, was acquired from the Nashville Predators in August in a deal that involved three other players and two draft picks.
