In two games over the weekend Tarasov scored two goals and two assists. Tarasov was also a plus-3 with six shots over the weekend. Tarasov is an exciting prospect for the Sharks, though may not be at the top of the list for a call-up. He has eight goals and 12 assists through 34 games this season.

The Sharks have reassigned Tarasov to AHL Worcester. Tarasov took a large step forward last year, scoring 17 goals and 14 assists through 47 games. He was a darkhorse to make the team, but may get his first look at the NHL this season if he can keep performing like he has.
