Yaroslav Askarov Returns to Crease Against High-Scoring Avalanche

San Jose Sharks goaltender Yaroslav Askarov will tend the twine for Wednesday's road game against Colorado, marking the Sharks' final game before the Olympic break. Askarov has struggled recently, posting a 1-4-1 record with a 4.04 GAA and an .844 save percentage over his last six starts, and was pulled from Monday's loss to Chicago. He faces a challenging matchup against the Avalanche, who lead the league with 3.83 goals per game this season.
