Warsofsky on Dickinson’s Growth, How Sustainable Askarov’s Play Is | Sharks Practice (11.10.26)

What has Sam Dickinson improved most this season? At San Jose Sharks practice at Sharks Ice San Jose (Nov. 10, 2026), the day after the Sharks' 3-2 shootout win over the New York Islanders, head coach Ryan Warsofsky said: "He's probably our most improved player since training camp."

Warsofsky on Dickinson playing with contact and when he could get a power-play look, whether Yaroslav Askarov's hot start is sustainable in his second NHL season ("I think it's definitely sustainable"), D-zone coverage work after the win, Ivar Stenberg's pace and hockey IQ, Alexander Wennberg's maintenance day, watching the shootout from the bench ("Yeah, I don't watch"), how the Sharks set their shootout order, Macklin Celebrini as captain, and facing Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins tomorrow.

Practice coverage from San Jose Hockey Now. More from Macklin Celebrini and Yaroslav Askarov is on the channel.
