San Jose Sharks fall to the Colorado Avalanche, marking their fourth straight loss despite Yaroslav Askarov’s standout goaltending. Can Askarov’s resilience spark a turnaround as the team heads into the Olympic break? JD Young spotlights Askarov’s 38-save performance, the Sharks’ defensive struggles, and the growing gap in the Western Conference wild card race.
Key topics include Kiefer Sherwood’s hard-nosed debut on a line with Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, Michael Misa’s frustrating limited usage despite a second-line promotion, and urgent fixes needed on special teams and the blue line. With a home stand and trade deadline looming, will GM Mike Grier shake up the roster or stay the course? Get expert analysis on the Sharks’ playoff hopes, player development, and what needs to change before their Olympic break reset.

Only positive was Asky. Rest were deer in the headlights.
Totally agree on the insights. Hoping that they'll find their dynamics again. We appreciate the effort tho. And they'll be my favorite team still. ❤ The future is still teal
Asky needs to perform like McKenzie Blackwood.
