The goalie for the San Jose Sharks, **[Yaroslav Askarov](https://example.com)**, shared his thoughts on the team’s performance this season. The 23-year-old Russian stopped 34 out of 35 shots in a game against the Boston Bruins, earning the title of the game’s first star. After 23 matches, the Sharks sit in ninth place in the NHL’s Western Conference standings.

“We’ve been winning more games lately. When you go to bed, you smile. And when you wake up, you’re still smiling. It’s a wonderful feeling,” Askarov is quoted by the club’s press service.

In 14 games this season, Yaroslav has achieved eight victories and six losses, boasting a save percentage of 91.0% and a goals-against average of 2.83. He matched the team’s rookie goalie record for the most wins in a single calendar month, a feat previously accomplished by Russian goalkeeper Evgeni Nabokov in December 2000, who also recorded seven wins for the club.
