Yaroslav Askarov News: Tending twine Friday

Askarov will patrol the visiting crease in New Jersey on Friday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Askarov needs a good performance as he has allowed 17 goals on 105 shots (.838 save percentage) across three starts this year. The 23-year-old came into the season as the Sharks' No. 1 goaltender, but another poor outing could get him sent to AHL San Jose. Askarov will face the Devils, who are tied for second in NHL scoring, averaging 4.00 goals.
