Tarasenko (illness) will return to the lineup Thursday versus the Flyers, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tarasenko is expected to return to a third-line role and a spot on the top power-play unit following his two-game absence. The 30-year-old winger was red hot before missing a pair of contests due to an illness, having racked up one goal and six points through his last four appearances.

Tarasenko (illness) will not join the Blues for Tuesday's road clash versus Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Tarasenko has racked up eight points in his last six contests, including three multipoint outings. Without the Russian winger in the lineup, David Perron and Pavel Buchnevich figure to slot into top-six roles while the team could be forced to utilize seven defensemen. Once cleared to play, Tarasenko should return to offer top-end fantasy value as both a first-line player and member of the NO. 1 power-play unit.
