Askarov allowed two goals on 25 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Askarov gave up the first goal of the game, but the Sharks responded quickly with three tallies, which was all the support he needed. The 23-year-old netminder snapped his three-game losing streak with this effort, and he allowed fewer than three goals for the first time since Nov. 28, which was also against the Canucks. Askarov is 17-13-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 32 appearances. The Sharks' road trip continues in Edmonton on Thursday, which could be a start for Alex Nedeljkovic if head coach Ryan Warsofsky continues to rotate his goalies.
