Tarasov will guard the road cage during Saturday's matchup with the Capitals, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasov was solid in his NHL debut Thursday against the Stars, turning aside 34 of 37 shots, but he was ultimately stuck with a loss due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. The 22-year-old netminder will try to pick up his first career NHL victory in a tough road matchup with a Washington squad that's averaging 3.67 goals per game at home this campaign, sixth in the league.
