Graf was named the AHL’s Rookie of the Month and Askarov the Goaltender of the Month.

Graf leads all rookie skaters in points with ten (3 goals, 7 assists). The winger has quickly become a top player for the San Jose Barracuda, and Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky is noticing.

“Really good start,” Warsofsky said. “Even in the matches I have seen, he makes the difference. [He is] skating. He plays with pace. He’s good.”

Askarov was the best goaltender in the AHL to start his Sharks career. In five starts, his record is 5-0, with his 1.20 GAA and .959 save%.

“Askarov is really dialed in. The one match I went to here, you could see he was very focused and made himself look bigger in the net,” Warsofsky said.

The netminder has two shutouts in his first two starts of the season, and he even picked up an assist against the Coachella Valley Firebirds on Oct. 30.

San Jose appears to be in good hands with Graf and Askarov. The Barracuda are off to a sparkling start to the 24-25 season and have one of the best records in the league at 6-1.
