Dellandrea has battled some injuries this season and has been sidelined since early January due to a lower-body injury, but he has been an effective bottom-six forward when healthy, earning himself a two-year contract extension. The 25-year-old Dellandrea is averaging 14:24 time-on-ice, recording 11 points (2G / 9A) and 117 hits in 42 games this season.

With Alex Nedeljkovic already confirmed as the Sharks' starting goalie for Thursday's game against the Boston Bruins, the Sharks announce Askarov will be able to serve as his backup.

With Alex Nedeljkovic already confirmed as the Sharks' starting goalie for Thursday's game against the Boston Bruins, it is unclear if Askarov will be able to serve as his backup.

Nedeljkovic was lightly tested in his previous game, but allowed three goals on 14 shots (.786 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime loss to the St. Louis Blues. The 30-year-old goalie has been the more consistent Sharks' goalie in recent weeks, posting a 2.23 GAA and .919 SV% in his last nine appearances (6-1-1).

Chernyshov was effective while making his NHL debut earlier this season, scoring 11 points (3G / 8A) in 15 games with the Sharks, but has been in the AHL since mid-January. The 20-year-old second-round pick from the 2024 NHL Entry Draft has 33 points (13G / 20A) in 41 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) this season.

The Sharks have run into some goal-scoring difficulties in recent games, which resulted in a loss for Askarov in his previous outing despite an outstanding 32-save performance (.941 SV%) in a 2-1 overtime loss to the New York Islanders. The 23-year-old Askarov has lost five of his last seven outings (2-3-2), posting an ugly 3.82 GAA and .878 SV%. The Sharks enter Tuesday's contest as +177 road underdogs against the Atlantic Division-leading Buffalo Sabres, who have scored three or more goals in six consecutive games (6-0-0).
