Status report
Askarov will start after Nedeljkovic made 23 saves in a 6-5 overtime win at the New York Rangers on Thursday. … Misa will not play on what Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said was “a planned development day.” … Leddy, a defenseman, will not play Friday or at the Minnesota Wild on Sunday, and will be re-evaluated upon returning to San Jose. … Klingberg, a defenseman, could return against the Wild. … Allen will make his fourth start in five games. … Glass, a forward, will miss some time, according to New Jersey coach Sheldon Keefe, who said: “We’re not quite sure (of timetable) but it’s not a day-to-day situation. We’re hoping it’s no more than a couple of weeks.” … Markstrom participated in the Devils morning skate skate on Friday and is close to a return.
