Daniil Tarasov News
Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Daniil Tarasov will get the starting nod for Tuesday's road game versus the Ottawa Senators. The 24-year-old will take over for Elvis Merzlikins who has started the club's last two games and six of the last eight. Tarasov has endured an inconsistent season for the lowly Blue Jackets as he actually started five games in a six-game stretch to show what he can do. Unfortunately, he has worked to a 3.79 goals-against average and an .881 save percentage across 10 outings, going 3-5-2 in that time. His -7.33 goals saved above average, as per Hockey Reference, ranks 59th of 69 qualified netminders. He will take on a Senators team that is tied for eighth with 3.38 goals per game on the season.
Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Daniil Tarasov (knee) is in danger of missing the start of the season. The Russian netminder hurt his knee in practice before training camp started, and it's unclear if he can recover in time for the team's season opener, which comes on Oct. 12 versus Philadelphia. The Blue Jackets added Spencer Martin to the roster off waivers last week to beef up their goalie department, and he looks set to begin the season as Elvis Merzlikins' backup if Tarasov can't make it back in time. Tarasov posted a decent 5-5-0 record in the NHL last season, but his save percentage was at a lowly .882, and the 24-year-old gave up nearly four goals a night (3.85).
Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Daniil Tarasov will make his first start since Dec. 23 Tuesday against Nashville. He's back from an upper-body injury and will complete a back-to-back set after Elvis Merzlikins faced the Rangers on Monday. The team currently doesn't have Joonas Korpisalo (personal) available. Columbus has struggled badly all season and it's resulted in some horrible numbers for the goalies, with Tarasov sitting on a 2-8-1 record. He has dropped all of his last six starts and owns a 3.40 goals-against average for the season with a .907 save percentage. Fantasy managers should have much better options available to them on a busy night.
Columbus Blue Jackets netminder Daniil Tarasov stopped 47 of 50 shots to knock off the Florida Panthers 5-3 Sunday. Tarasov hasn't played in a game since October 28th, where he picked up a loss to Boston. The Russian netminder has a record of 2-3-0 and has allowed 17 goals this season. He is getting some starts due to Elvis Merzlinkins going down with an undisclosed injury. Merzlinkins should be available soon, and Tarasov will return to being a third-string goalie for the Blue Jackets. He is not a player to be looked for fantasy play at this time.
