Sharks goalie Vitek Vanecek out indefinitely after puck injury, Askarov recalled

San Jose Sharks goalie Vitek Vanecek is out indefinitely after being hit in the face by a puck during a game against the Winnipeg Jets. He is undergoing further evaluation, and the team has recalled Yaroslav Askarov to take his place. Vanecek was injured in the second period when a puck was deflected into the Sharks' bench. He was quickly attended to and did not return for the game, which the Sharks lost 4-3. Askarov, 22, has played two games for the Sharks this season and has a strong record with the Barracuda. He will join Alexander Georgiev as the team's goaltending duo for upcoming games.
