After Guy Hebert went down with an injury on March 8, Askey was called up from Cincinnati to serve as the back up behind Mikhail Shtalenkov for the remainder of the season. He made his NHL debut on March 13, 1998 against the Dallas Stars. Askey had two more appearances versus Colorado and Phoenix replacing Shtalenkov in net and stopping all 17 shots before getting his first start against Calgary in a 3–3 tie on April 5, 1998 stopping 32 shots. He came in relief once again on April 9 against the Sharks allowing one goal. He had two more starts tying the Avalanche 2–2 with 23 saves on April 13 and losing to the Blues 3-5 making 20 saves on April 19.
He saw playoff action in April 1999, replacing Guy Hebert in Game 1 halfway through the second period against the Detroit Red Wings, losing the game 3–5.
He signed with HIFK in the Finnish SM-liiga for the 2005–06 season, and was traded to Jokerit in January 2006. After Jokerit failed to make the playoffs, Askey transferred to HC Fribourg-Gottéron in the Swiss Nationalliga A.
