Yaroslav Askarov, the 22-year-old goalie for the San Jose Barracuda, exited Wednesday's game against the Ontario Reign due to a lower-body injury after conceding three goals in a short span. Despite showing initial signs of discomfort, Askarov stayed in the game until the 9:50 mark of the first period when he consulted with the team's athletic trainer and subsequently left the ice. The Barracuda lost the game 6-4, and any prolonged absence from Askarov could pose challenges, especially with another goalie, Georgi Romanov, also injured.
Askarov's departure from the game with a lower-body injury raises significant concerns for the Barracuda, particularly with another goalie also recovering from an injury.
Coach John McCarthy stated that team trainers were still evaluating Askarov's injury, indicating uncertainty regarding the severity of the goaltender's condition.
