SAN JOSE – Yaroslav Askarov’s return to the web for the San Jose Sharks’ AHL affiliate should wait slightly longer.
Askarov, the Sharks’ prime goalie prospect who had not performed in six weeks due to a lower-body damage, had been on monitor to begin Tuesday evening’s San Jose Barracuda sport in opposition to the Ontario Reign. However, based on Barracuda coach John McCarthy, Askarov re-aggravated the damage within the hours earlier than the sport and was unavailable to play.
Askarov was on the ice for pregame warmups at Tech CU Enviornment, however Gabriel Carriere began in a 3-2 loss to the Reign, marking San Jose’s fourth straight defeat.
“Little setback,” McCarthy stated when requested about Askarov after a 3-2 loss to the Ontario Reign on Wednesday. “They’re still kind of diagnosing it and figuring out what’s going on, but I don’t think it’s going to be long.”
Carriere and the Barracuda fell behind 2-0 after they allowed two targets on the Reign’s first two pictures within the opening 32 seconds. Carriere completed with 16 saves, and Luca Cagnoni and Patrick Giles each scored for San Jose within the loss.
It’s unclear when Askarov may be capable of return, however figuring out what an enormous piece he’s to the way forward for the crew, the Sharks group will possible proceed with warning. The Barracuda (32-24-5-4) are actually tied for fifth place within the AHL’s Pacific Division standings with 73 factors and 7 video games remaining, beginning with two upcoming highway video games in opposition to the division-leading Colorado Eagles on Friday and Saturday.
The Barracuda stay six factors up on seventh-place Tucson and seventh factors forward of eighth-place Bakersfield. The highest seven groups make the Calder Cup playoffs. The Barracuda has not performed within the postseason since 2021.
