Tarasenko posted an assist and four hits but also went minus-3 in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko has only produced five goals and a helper in 14 appearances during the playoffs, which is far lower than expected of the star winger. In what should be a high-scoring series against the Sharks, Tarasenko will need to break out of his funk if the Blues are to have a chance at playing for the Stanley Cup.
