Tarasenko (illness) returned to practice Wednesday, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko missed Tuesday's exhibition against Dallas due to an illness, but he'll be a candidate to rejoin the lineup for Thursday's preseason matchup with Detroit. Either way, it's safe to assume the Russian winger will be 100 percent healthy for St. Louis' Oct. 2 regular-season opener against the Capitals.
