2024 Fantasy Outlook

Askarov is the best goaltending prospect in pro hockey and his time will come, which could be in 2024-25 after he was acquired by the Sharks in a trade from Nashville. He has it all - elite skills, incredible feet and extraordinary quickness and athleticism. It certainly wasn't the backstop's skills that saw him shipped off the San Jose. The Preds are a team with cup aspirations and signed starter Juuse Saros to an eight-year extension. Askarov could be in contention for the starting job alongside Mackenzie Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek. It likely will take most of training camp for a decision to be made, so Askarov may need to be on your draft radar. Read Past Outlooks

Askarov (lower body) is expected back on at practice with AHL San Jose in the coming week, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Wednesday.

ANALYSIS
Askarov won't be ready to rejoin the Sharks until at least the end of March or the start of April -- though the organization may decide to let him finish out the year with the Barracuda instead of bringing him back to the NHL. In his 13 appearances for the Sharks, the 22-year-old backstop went 4-6-2 with a 3.10 GAA and .896 save percentage.

Should start Thursday

GSan Jose Sharks Minors

January 23, 2025

Askarov is expected to be between the pipes versus Nashville on Thursday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

ANALYSIS
Askarov was selected 11th overall in the 2020 Draft by the Predators and dealt to San Jose in the offseason for David Edstrom, Magnus Chrona and a conditional first-round pick in 2025. This will be his first game against his former teammates. Askarov has been strong at the NHL level this season in limited action, going 3-4-2 with a 2.57 GAA and a .912 save percentage. He should be the No. 1 goaltender with the Sharks as Alexandar Georgiev is only 2-9-0 with a 3.79 GAA and an .884 save percentage since he was dealt from Colorado on Dec. 9.
