San Jose Sharks News

The Sharks will turn to Askarov between the pipes on Wednesday against the Seattle Kraken. Askaorv played his best game of the season in his most recent outing, saving 36 of 38 shots (.947 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime win over the Colorado Avalanche. The Sharks hope Askarov's strong performance will trigger improved play from the 23-year-old netminder, who is an ugly 4.29 GAA and .862 SV% through seven games this season (2-4-1). The Sharks enter Wednesday's contest as +140 road underdogs against a Kraken team that is yet to lose in regulation on home ice (4-0-2).

Ferraro played a season-low 16:48 time-on-ice in San Jose's most recent game, and was also absent from practice on Tuesday for maintenance purposes, but should be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Seattle Kraken. The 27-year-old Ferraro is averaging 20:53 time-on-ice, recording 32 blocks, 24 hits, and three points (1G / 2A) in 13 games this season.

Dellandrea is travelling with the Sharks to Seattle but his status is up in the air for Wednesday's contest. The 25-year-old Dellandrea has contributed five points (0G / 5A) through 13 games in a bottom-six role for the Sharks this season.

Eklund did not play in San Jose's most recent game due to a lower-body injury and will miss at least one more contest, as he remains day-to-day. The 23-year-old Eklund is to a great start this season, scoring 11 points (5G / 6A) in 12 games.

Gaudette was limited to only 6:39 time-on-ice in San Jose's 6-5 win over Minnesota on October 26th, exiting the contest due to an upper-body injury, and has not played since. The 29-year-old Gaudette has four points (3G / 1A) in nine games this season.

Giles made his NHL debut last season, scoring one point (1G / 0A) in 17 games split between the Florida Panthers and San Jose Sharks. He scored one point (0G / 1A) in a recent three-game stint with the Sharks but will return to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL).
