Askarov to Start in Goal for Sharks Against Chicago Monday

Yaroslav Askarov (San Jose Sharks) was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, indicating he will guard the cage on the road versus Chicago. Askarov has picked up just one win in his last five outings, going 1-3-1 with a 3.65 GAA. The 23-year-old netminder has been splitting the workload with Alex Nedeljkovic since the start of January, and his starting spot could be in jeopardy if his struggles continue.
