2025 Fantasy Outlook
It's safe to assume, after a successful stint with AHL San Jose (11-9-1 record, 2.45 GAA and .923 save percentage), that Askarov will be in the NHL for 2025-26. Whether that's as a starter, a backup or a tandem goalie remains to be seen, though it shouldn't be long before that's not a question anymore. Askarov is the team's goalie of the future, and it won't be long before he's the clear starter leading the team's youth movement. Don't put too much weight on his NHL numbers from last year, as a 3.10 GAA and a .896 save percentage behind such an inexperienced team wasn't bad. Askarov will be a factor in fantasy, but his value will be determined by how much of a step forward the Sharks take as a unit. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Askarov will get the second half of San Jose's back-to-back after Alex Nedeljkovic played in Monday's 4-1 win over Florida. The 23-year-old Askarov has a 16-12-1 record with a 3.53 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 30 appearances of the 2025-26 campaign. Tampa Bay sits second in the league this season with 3.49 goals per game.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Askarov is the best goaltending prospect in pro hockey and his time will come, which could be in 2024-25 after he was acquired by the Sharks in a trade from Nashville. He has it all - elite skills, incredible feet and extraordinary quickness and athleticism. It certainly wasn't the backstop's skills that saw him shipped off the San Jose. The Preds are a team with cup aspirations and signed starter Juuse Saros to an eight-year extension. Askarov could be in contention for the starting job alongside Mackenzie Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek. It likely will take most of training camp for a decision to be made, so Askarov may need to be on your draft radar.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely starting Friday
Askarov will likely start Friday's road game against Detroit, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
The Sharks are slated to play a pair of back-to-back sets across their next four games, so Askarov will likely alternate starts with Alex Nedeljkovic. Since Nedeljkovic has been named the starting netminder for Thursday's road game against Washington, Askarov will likely tend the twine a day later.
