Askarov on Two-Pad Stack Save, Facing Sorokin | Sharks Practice (11.10.26)

Why did Yaroslav Askarov stack the pads? At San Jose Sharks practice at Sharks Ice San Jose (Nov. 10, 2026), the day after his two-pad stack save in the Sharks' 3-2 shootout win over the New York Islanders, Askarov said: "You don't have time to think."

Askarov on practicing the two-pad stack, his diving glove save in Ottawa, keeping the same emotional line after a big save, whether Michael Misa really told him to stack the pads ("No."), getting more confident with every shootout save, and facing Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin, whom he met this summer ("He's complete").
