Blues"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Yaroslav Askarov will start on Monday as the San Jose Sharks take on the St. Louis Blues after he missed one game due to an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n<p>Askarov, 23, had missed six games before being the backup goalie for <a href=\"https:\/\/sharkshockeydigest.com\/tag\/alex-nedeljkovic\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2664\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Nedeljkovic<\/a> against the Nashville Predators on March 24th. He would return to the crease against the Blues on March 26th, but after a friendly fire collision, he was forced to leave the game. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe St. Louis game, he looked like he was playing a good game,\u201d Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky said. \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate [that he] kind of got nicked up there. Gotta move on, and he\u2019s ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The San Jose Sharks recalled <a href=\"https:\/\/sharkshockeydigest.com\/tag\/laurent-brossoit\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"3060\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Laurent Brossoit<\/a> to be Nedeljkovic\u2019s backup during the <a href=\"https:\/\/sharkshockeydigest.com\/san-jose-sharks-chernyshov-celebrini-3-2-beat-blue-jackets\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">3-2 win<\/a> over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Although Brossoit jumped <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CurtisPashelka\/status\/2038673396306006061?s=20\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(opens in a new tab)\">on the ice<\/a> towards the end of the Sharks\u2019 morning skate, the veteran goalie is likely to head back to the San Jose Barracuda. Brossoit is the starting netminder for a team fighting for home-ice advantage in the first round of the Calder Cup Playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>The San Jose Sharks\u2019 power play is slowly improving. Over the past five games, San Jose has a 23.1% power-play, going 3-for-13. Macklin Celebrini\u2019s goal against CBJ came just three seconds into the team\u2019s second PP chance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe attack mindset. You can see some chemistry brewing there a little bit as well,\u201d Warsofsky said. \u201cKnow where you are and where guys are when they\u2019re in trouble. I thought that even today was the best it\u2019s looked all year in practice, that\u2019s a positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the projected lineup for both teams tonight, visit SHD\u2019s Line Combinations page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yaroslav Askarov will start on Monday as the San Jose Sharks take on the St. Louis Blues after&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":531484,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5120],"tags":[71,5,501,4,748,168,32852,34781,24660,534,84,5285,5284,1125],"class_list":["post-531483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-louis-blues","tag-blues","tag-hockey","tag-macklin-celebrini","tag-nhl","tag-ryan-warsofsky","tag-san-jose-sharks","tag-sharks-injuries","tag-sharks-line-combinations","tag-sj-sharks","tag-st-louis","tag-st-louis-blues","tag-stlouis","tag-stlouisblues","tag-yaroslav-askarov"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116319690725045959","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=531483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/531484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=531483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=531483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=531483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
