Briefly

Gabe Carriere came on as his replacement but also struggled, leading to a 6-4 loss against the Ontario Reign. Coach John McCarthy lacked updates on Askarov's condition after the game, while Askarov had previously demonstrated potential with a solid .926 save percentage in the AHL this season.
Askarov allowed two goals in the first 8:05 of the first period before suffering a lower-body injury that forced him to leave the game.
Barracuda coach John McCarthy provided no update on Askarov’s injury post-game, stating that trainers were still evaluating the goalie.
Askarov, acquired from the Nashville Predators, had shown promising statistics with a .926 save percentage in the AHL before the injury.
Gabe Carriere replaced Askarov and struggled, allowing three goals on 21 shots, contributing to the Barracuda's 6-4 loss to the Ontario Reign.
