Yaroslav Askarov, a goaltender for the Predators, made his home debut as a backup for Juuse Saros due to Kevin Lankinen's illness. Askarov previously played in Milwaukee and made his NHL debut in January, achieving a 1.000 save percentage this season. He saved all 6 shots he faced in the third period of a game. Askarov's appearance in Nashville was due to Lankinen's illness, and there were speculations about his road trip with the team.
Still no Kevin Lankinen, so Askarov is still here. Wonder if he makes the road trip?
