San Jose Sharks goaltender Yaroslav Askarov is scheduled to guard the home cage Tuesday against Calgary.

In his last outing, the Sharks overcame a 5-1 deficit to beat the Penguins in overtime. For the season, the 23-year-old holds an 11-8-1 record, a .900 save percentage, and a 3.24 GAA through 20 outings, facing a Flames squad with the second-worst goal production in the NHL.
