Per Dave Maetzold of Bally Sports Columbus, Tarasov (upper body) is still undergoing testing Saturday, according to coach Pascal Vincent.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasov was shaken up Thursday versus the Islanders and was forced to leave the game in the second period after absorbing a hit to his head. His status is unknown at this time, but the Blue Jackets recalled Malcolm Subban from the minors on Friday. Look for Jet Greaves and Subban to split the starts on Saturday and Sunday if Tarasov is unable to play.
