Tarasenko is battling the flu and his status for Wednesday's game against the Winnipeg Jets was up in the air as a result. The 32-year-old Tarasenko is off to a slow start in his inaugural season with the Red Wings, scoring only three points (2G / 1A) in his first nine games.

Tarasenko is battling the flu and his status for Wednesday's game against the Winnipeg Jets is uncertain. The 32-year-old Tarasenko is off to a slow start in his inaugural season with the Red Wings, scoring only three points (2G / 1A) in his first nine games.

Fresh off of his second career Stanley Cup victory, Vladimir Tarasenko has signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract ($4,750,000 AAV) with the Detroit Red Wings. The 32-year-old is entering his 13th NHL season with his fifth team and had 23 goals, 55 points and a +13 plus/minus in 76 games between Ottawa and Florida in 2023-24.

Tarasenko joined the Senators in the offseason on a one-year contract, a move that did not materialize for the club as they are trending towards another season without playoff hockey. On Wednesday, the Panthers acquired Tarasenko from the Senators in return for a conditional 2024 fourth-round pick and a 2025 third-round pick, with Ottawa retaining half of his salary. Tarasenko was playing some of his best hockey of the season before the trade, scoring nine points (4G / 5A) in his last 13 games.

Tarasenko was a late scratch on Friday and subsequently did not play on Sunday as he tended to family matters away from the team. He was back at practice on Monday and will likely return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Arizona Coyotes. After averaging only 1.4 shot per game during a seven-game stretch with three points (0G / 3A), Tarasenko has been more involved lately, seeing his ice-time increase by 97 seconds per game, scoring six points (3G / 3A) and averaging 3.1 shots in seven games.

Tarasenko was a late scratch on Friday with the Senators announcing his absence shortly after 6:00 pm ET. The 32-year-old winger has six goals and 13 assists in his first 24 games as a Senator. Rourke Chartier will take Tarasenko's spot in the lineup on Friday.

Tarsenko had 18 goals, 32 assists, 169 SOG, eight PIMs and a -14 plus/minus through 69 games played with both St. Louis and New York in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year, $5,000,000 contract with Ottawa. The 31-year-old right-winger will join his third team in his 12th NHL season and has 270 goals, 573 points with 2124 SOG through 675 career games played.

Tarasenko had 10 goals, 19 assists, 103 SOG, and a -18 plus/minus through 38 games with St. Louis but has been traded along with Niko Mikkola from the Blues to the New York Rangers for Sammy Blais, Hunter Skinner, a conditional 2023 first-round pick and a conditional 2024 fourth-round pick. He will make his Rangers debut Thursday vs. Seattle.

Tarasenko hasn't played since Dec. 31st due to a hand injury but was activated off the injured reserve Tuesday and is expected to return to the Blues lineup. The 31-year-old had 10 goals, 19 assists, 90 SOG, and a -13 plus/minus through 34 games prior to the injury.

Tarasenko suffered a hand injury early in Saturday's game vs. the Wild and will be re-evaluated in one month. In addition to Tarasenko's injury, the Blues also lost Ryan O'Reilly for six weeks due to a broken foot. Jake Neighbours was recalled from the AHL to help replace Tarasenko on the wing.

Tarasenko missed the Blues' previous contest vs. Anaheim due to illness and will yet again miss another game Monday with the same ailment. It is a tough loss for St.Louis as the 30-year-old has four goals and nine assists across 16 games played this season.

Tarasenko missed the last two games with an illness but will play Thursday vs. the Flyers. With the second line playing well in his absence, he'll start on the "third" line with Robert Thomas and Ivan Barbashev.

Tarasenko will miss his second straight game with an illness but could join the team in Buffalo for Friday's game. The Blues will also be without Robert Thomas (upper-body), so the Blues may need to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
