Askarov has not played in nearly two weeks, but is nearing a return after practicing on Monday. The 23-year-old Askarov has had an inconsistent 2025-26 season, but the Sharks will be eager to get him back in the crease if, at the very least, just to switch things up after going 2-4-0 in his absence.

Toffoli exited Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in the first period after only 3:41 time-on-ice due to a lower-body injury and did not return. The 33-year-old Toffoli has been effective offensively lately, scoring five points (2G / 3A) in his last six games. The team should provide an update on Toffoli's status before they return to action on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Wennberg was a late scratch from Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators, but he should re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 31-year-old Swedish forward is having an excellent season with the Sharks, averaging a career-high 20:37 time-on-ice and scoring 43 points (13G / 30A) in 64 games. This marks only the second time Wennberg has surpassed 40 points in a season, dating back to his 59-point campaign in 2016-17 with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
