The Milwaukee Admirals have been the best story in hockey this season you might not be aware of, as the Nashville Predators’ AHL affiliate has won 18-straight games, the second-best ever streak in the league.
Part of that incredible run has been fueled by young goalie Yaroslav Askarov, who has been playing some of the best hockey of anyone in either the NHL or AHL as of late. He’s stood firm for five shutout wins since Jan. 5.
With rumors flying about the Predators possibly trading goalie Juuse Saros, Askarov could be the next star goalie once the Preds call him up permanently from Milwaukee to man the pipes in Smashville.

Check out some of Askarov’s stellar highlights during this impressive Admirals win streak and get excited about when he brings his acrobatic, stuntman-ready goalie work to the big leagues on a full-time basis.
Really, these highlights are stunners. We’re so excited for Askarov’s future NHL days.
