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.
Tarasenko will miss Saturday's game in Columbus due to an illness. Robert Thomas is expected to return from an illness of his own to replace Tarasenko in the lineup.
Tarasenko was scratched in Toronto on Saturday but was on the ice for Monday's practice and is expected to play vs. the Flyers on Tuesday. Tarasenko has scored 10 goals with 12 assists (22 points) in his last 16 games.
Tarasenko was not on the ice for Saturday's morning skate and will not play vs. the Maple Leafs. With Tarasenko out, Jordan Kyrou will skate with Robert Thomas and Pavel Buchnevich.
Tarasenko has missed the last four games while in COVID-19 protocol but will play Monday. Tarasenko, who has 15 points (7G / 8A) in his last 10 games, will likely be reunited with Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou.
The timing couldn't be worse for Tarasenko, who has scored seven goals with eight assists (15 points) in his last 10 games. His line with Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou has been among the hottest in the NHL but he'll likely miss at least two games.
Tarasenko missed eight of the final nine games of the regular seasons but will play in Game 1 on Monday. His return will provide a big boost for a team that will be without David Perron, who is in COVID-19 protocol. Tarasenko scored four goals with 10 assists (14 points) in 24 games this season.
Tarasenko re-aggravated his lower-body injury and will not play Wednesday. This will be the third time in four games that Tarasenko is unavailable. Look for Zach Sanford to move up and play with Tyler Bozak and Jaden Schwartz.
Tarasenko has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but is expected to play Monday vs. the Ducks. Tarasenko was back on the second line and top power-play unit in the morning skate and comes in with 14 points (4G / 10A) in 23 games this season.
Tarasenko has had three shoulder surgeries in 28 months but appears ready to make his season debut on Saturday night. Tarasenko is expected to replace Nathan Walker in the lineup and skate on a line with Brayden Schenn and David Perron. The last time we saw Tarasenko, he had 10 points (3G / 7A) in 10 games.
Tarasenko skated on a line with Brayden Schenn in Friday’s practice, indicating that he’s getting very close to making his season debut. The Blues start a six-game road trip on Saturday in San Jose and it goes until Monday, March 8th, so look for Tarasenko to debut sometime in the next week.
Moving Tarasenko to LTIR opens up some cap space for the Blues to recall Jordan Kyrou and Mackenzie MacEachern from the taxi squad. Tarasenko continues to rehab his surgically repaired shoulder and is expected to be re-evaluated at the end of January.
