Yaroslav Askarov: Sharks Goalie Overcomes Rough Start, Poised for Superstardom

San Jose Sharks goaltender Yaroslav Askarov, 23, is a recommended trade target after dramatically turning his season around. Following a difficult start where he went 1-4-1 with an .844 save percentage, allowing 28 goals on 180 shots, Askarov has since been outstanding. In his last six games, he boasts a 5-1-0 record, giving up only eight goals on 197 shots. He recently stopped 24 of 26 shots in a 3-2 overtime win against Utah. Overall, Askarov holds a 6-5-1 record with a 2.99 GAA and a .907 save percentage. He is considered the Sharks' top goalie and is expected to be a key factor in their playoff aspirations, potentially solidifying his No. 1 position by Christmas.
