Florida Panthers winger Vladimir Tarasenko popped up with his fourth goal of the 2024 postseason in Thursday's 4-3 victory against the Oilers. With the score tied at one, Tarasenko started a three-goal Panthers rally in the middle of the second period. Despite seeing only 11:13 of ice time, the Russian veteran led his team with four shots on goal in the contest. He also registered one hit as Florida grabbed a 3-0 series lead. Tarasenko has been awfully quiet in these playoffs, but he has saved some of his best performances for the most important stages of the postseason campaign, going scoreless only once in the past four games. Tarasenko's overall tally for the playoffs reads eight points (four goals, four assists) in 20 games.
Vladimir Tarasenko Sends Panthers Back To Cup Final
Florida Panthers winger Vladimir Tarasenko scored the decisive goal as the team clinched its spot in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final with a 2-1 victory over the Rangers on Saturday. Having gone pointless in the series so far, Tarasenko popped up with a big goal 9:08 into the third period to give Florida a 2-0 lead. Tarasenko, who's chasing his second Stanley Cup win following St. Louis' triumph in 2019, has struggled in the postseason and had to relinquish a top-six role in the middle of the Eastern Conference Final. The Russian forward sits on three goals and six points with 17 games played.
Vladimir Tarasenko Drops Down To Third Line Tuesday
Florida Panthers winger Vladimir Tarasenko will start Tuesday's Game 4 against the Rangers on the third line. Panthers head coach Paul Maurice shuffled his lines in Game 3, which helped the team produce a third-period comeback, and the new-look attack will remain in place on Tuesday. Tarasenko will skate with Anton Lundell and Eetu Luostarinen while Evan Rodrigues moves to the top six. Carter Verhaeghe joins Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart on the first line. Tarasenko played well with the Panthers during the regular season after joining from Ottawa in March, but he's been anonymous for most of the team's playoff run. The Russian forward is in the midst of a five-game scoring drought, boasting only five points (two goals, three assists) in 14 games overall.
The Florida Panthers have acquired right wing Vladimir Tarasenko from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for draft compensation, according to NHL Insider Darren Dreger. Tarasenko, a pending unrestricted free agent this summer, has scored 17 goals and added 24 assists through 57 games for the Senators. The 32-year-old forward has been traded ahead of the deadline for the second consecutive season, and his fantasy value gets a boost as he joins a high-scoring Panthers team that ranks eighth in the league with an average of 3.32 goals per game.
Ottawa Senators forward Vladimir Tarasenko is garnering significant trade interest as the club approaches the March 8 NHL trade deadline. The veteran signed a one-year deal with the Senators in the offseason but the club figures to be trade-deadline sellers as they sit 16 points back of the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. Tarasenko has recorded 15 goals and 38 points in 55 games on the season while logging 15:59 of ice time per game. Tarasenko has a no-trade clause in his contract, meaning any deal would need to be approved by the player. The Senators will be one of the main teams to keep an eye on in the next week.
Ottawa Senators right wing Vladimir Tarasenko had a classic revenge game against the New York Rangers on Tuesday, posting two goals and an assist in a 6-2 win over his former team. Tarasenko's first goal went down as the game-winning marker. After opening the 2023-24 campaign with four multi-point efforts in October, the Russian forward has had a pretty rough time, and he hadn't scored in 13 games before finding the back of the net again on Tuesday. Tarasenko now has five goals in total for the season and boasts 17 points with 20 games played.
Ottawa Senators right wing Vladimir Tarasenko continued his good start with his new club with a second consecutive two-point game in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Lightning. The Russian forward scored his first Senators goal and had one assist to become only the fourth player in franchise history to record multiple points in each of their first two home games with the team. Tarasenko logged 15:49 of ice time on the second line and finished with a plus-two rating, having added four shots and two hits to his account. That's now four points through the first three games of the season for Tarasenko, and it looks like he's back to his best after struggling last year.
Vladimir Tarasenko's play in the New York Ranger's win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday was a promising sign for the team, as he contributed a goal and two assists, including the game-winning goal in overtime. Tarasenko had been struggling to find his scoring touch since joining the Rangers earlier in the season, but his performance against the Flyers suggests he may have turned a corner. With the playoffs approaching, the Rangers will need Tarasenko to continue producing at a high level if they hope to make a deep run and compete for the Stanley Cup.
New York Rangers right wing Vladimir Tarasenko contributed to all three goals and scored the game-winner in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Flyers. Tarasenko provided assists on a power play goal by Mika Zibanejad in the first period and the game-tying goal by Chris Kreider in the third, while he followed that up by scoring his third in a Rangers uniform halfway into the extra frame. Tarasenko has picked up seven points through 10 games since the trade that sent him from the Blues to the Rangers, and he should be started across all formats while claiming a spot in the top six.
New York Rangers right wing Vladimir Tarasenko made a scoring debut for the team on Friday, setting the Blueshirts on their way to a 6-3 win over Seattle with an early goal. He became the fourth player in Rangers history to score inside the first three minutes in his team debut. Tarasenko finished the blowout win with only 13:58 of ice time, but he still made his presence felt in many ways, registering two shots, two blocks and a hit with a plus-one rating. Jimmy Vesey played next to Mika Zibanejad and Artemi Panarin in the previous game, so getting Tarasenko in is a huge upgrade for the Rangers. He's off to a perfect start at his new club and should have a very fruitful period until the end of the season.
The New York Rangers have acquired right wing Vladimir Tarasenko from the Blues in exchange for forward Sammy Blais, defenseman prospect Hunter Skinner, a conditional first-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. Tarasenko was involved in trade rumors all throughout the season as he is in the final season of an eight-year contract he signed with the Blues in the summer of 2015. The 31-year-old forward has scored 10 goals and totaled 29 points through 38 games this season, and the lack of scoring production is partly a result of the extended absence with a hand injury. Tarasenko will join a Rangers team that is currently third in their division, and his fantasy value will increase with this move to a contending team that features a forward core of left wing Artemi Panarin and center Mika Zibanejad.
St. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko (hand) will return from a 10-game absence Tuesday versus Buffalo. He hurt his right hand when he blocked a shot on Dec. 31 in a game against Minnesota, but Tarasenko is good to go again and will look to add to his 29 points on Tuesday. The 31-year-old sniper will join the top power-play unit and is set to skate with Ivan Barbashev and Brayden Schenn during even-strength play.
St. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko (hand) is close to returning to the lineup but won't play Saturday against Chicago. His absence will stretch to 10 games and he will get his next chance to return Tuesday against Buffalo. Through 34 games this season, Tarasenko has recorded 10 goals and 19 assists. He's in a contract year and a potential trade target for a number of teams, so the Russian sniper should be very eager to impress once he's finally back on the ice. Jake Neighbours has been getting top-six minutes in his absence.
Vladimir Tarasenko Ruled Out For At Least Four Weeks
St. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko (hand) will miss at least four weeks of action after the team placed him on Injured Reserve on Monday. He is set to undergo re-evaluation on a right-hand injury in four weeks' time. Tarasenko's injury leaves the Blues without their third-best scorer. The Russian sniper has managed 29 points in 34 games this season. The 31-year-old has lately played on a very prolific line with Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou, and Pavel Buchnevich took Tarasenko's spot on the line in Monday's practice.
St. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko had to make an early exit against Minnesota on Saturday, playing only 4:18. He was forced off by an apparent right-hand injury which Tarasenko sustained by blocking a shot with it. The Russian sniper was back from a one-game absence after missing Thursday's meeting with Chicago, and he could be heading back to the shelf now ahead of a four-game road trip. Tarasenko has totaled 10 goals and 19 assists in 34 appearances this season, sitting third on the team's scoring list. Ivan Barbashev took his spot on Thursday and could get more action again in a bigger role if Tarasenko needs time to recover from the hand issue.
St. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) is ready to play again Saturday against Minnesota after sitting out one game.

He has tallied four goals and nine assists so far this season in 16 games, recording 44 shots and 16 hits with a minus-four rating. The Blues have heated up with seven consecutive wins and the hot form should help Tarasenko to remain among the scorers consistently.
St. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) will be sidelined for a second consecutive game Monday against Anaheim. He also missed a game against the Ducks over the weekend, with the Russian sniper having picked up some sort of an illness bug. Tarasenko has had a decent season so far with four goals and nine assists in 16 games. Jordan Kyrou has landed in his spot next to Pavel Buchnevich and Robert Thomas. The trio will look to roast the Ducks for the second time in just a few days after combining for 10 points in Saturday's 6-2 victory. Tarasenko's next chance to return comes Wednesday night against Buffalo.
St. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko is battling an illness and won't be able to play Saturday versus Anaheim. He is sitting out for the first time this season. The Russian winger finds himself on a seven-game goal drought, but he has had a solid start to the campaign with 13 points in 16 games. His absence gives Alexey Toropchenko a chance to re-enter the lineup and he will even skate on the top line. It's going to be his first game since Nov. 8, and Toropchenko will try to finally make a significant mark up front after posting only one point in 11 games this season.
Vladimir Tarasenko Gets A Natural Hat Trick In Game 5
St. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko became a hat-trick hero in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Wild, turning a tight game into a comfortable 5-2 win with three third-period goals. This came completely out of the blue, as Tarasenko sat on just one goal and two points in the playoffs before Tuesday's action. It's his second playoff hat trick, with the first one having also come against Minnesota in 2015. It's not been a great series for Tarasenko, but the veteran sniper should get better as long as his team stays in contention for the Stanley Cup. St. Louis can secure a ticket to the second round in the next game on Thursday.
