Tarasenko recorded two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Tarasenko helped out on both of the Blues' tallies in the second period as they took control of the game. He's gotten on the scoresheet in nine straight appearances, logging six goals and nine helpers in that span. The Russian winger is up to 38 points (12 on the power play), 122 shots on net, 42 hits and a plus-3 rating through 37 contests. He's never sustained a point-per-game pace in his career, so a little regression in the second half of the season is likely.
