San Jose Sharks surge through November with Yaroslav Askarov’s breakout performances anchoring the team’s turnaround. Can this rookie netminder’s momentum fuel a deeper rise in the Pacific Division? JD Young explores Askarov’s incredible 1.88 GAA, .944 save percentage, and the vital role he plays in covering up defensive lapses for the Sharks. Key questions include whether his hot streak signals a long-term solution in goal, and what this means for San Jose’s development path.

Tyler Toffoli faces a goal drought despite strong underlying numbers—will his luck change as the schedule softens? Meanwhile, Collin Graf’s stock climbs thanks to his relentless penalty-kill efforts, with JD Young breaking down what a new contract could look like for the versatile winger. Get insights on the Sharks’ leading scorers, projected role shifts, and why fans shouldn’t count out veterans or emerging young talents as San Jose aims to sustain momentum.
