San Jose Sharks Analysis

Friday's analysis excluded the games, but the struggling San Jose Sharks aimed to break their five-game losing streak by hosting the Vegas Golden Knights. The Sharks, who have only won one of their last nine games, were at the bottom of the Pacific Division. They have earned points in some close matches during their losing streak, but have also allowed four goals in multiple games. With Vitek Vanecek injured, Alexandar Georgiev and Yaroslav Askarov are managing goaltending duties. Georgiev played on Friday, so Askarov is expected to start on Saturday. Askarov, a 22-year-old Russian, has shown promising stats in his limited starts. San Jose Sharks have low offensive and defensive rankings, and Calgary has had a mixed record in recent matchups against them.
