Tarasenko recorded an assist, three shots and three hits in Monday's 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko helped out on the game-tying goal by Brayden Schenn at 19:12 of the second period. The Russian winger has managed two helpers and eight shots in three games so far. It's too early to be concerned about the goose egg in the goal column -- Tarasenko has scored no fewer than 33 times in each of the last five seasons, so the goals will come eventually.

Tarasenko (illness) returned to practice Wednesday, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko missed Tuesday's exhibition against Dallas due to an illness, but he'll be a candidate to rejoin the lineup for Thursday's preseason matchup with Detroit. Either way, it's safe to assume the Russian winger will be 100 percent healthy for St. Louis' Oct. 2 regular-season opener against the Capitals.

Tarasenko (illness) won't play Tuesday against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko missed Monday's practice due to an illness and evidently is still under the weather. He'll set his sights on rejoining the lineup for Thursday's preseason matchup with Detroit or Friday's exhibition match against the Capitals.

Tarasenko missed practice Monday due to illness, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

If Tarasenko misses Tuesday's preseason matchup with Dallas, it will likely be precautionary. The Russian was limited to just 76 games last year due to a knee issue, but should be ready for Opening Night against Washington on Oct. 2. If he can avoid further injury, the winger should be capable of getting back over the 70-point threshold in 2019-20.

Tarasenko (knee) is ready to roll after dealing with offseason knee and shoulder issues, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko's shoulder issues didn't stop him from lifting Lord Stanley's cup at the end of the year, having racked up 11 goals and six assists in 26 postseason contests. The Russian winger will be looking to put up his sixth straight 65-plus point campaign this season. If he stays healthy, he could even creep back over the 70-point mark for the fourth time in his career.

Tarasenko (shoulder) recently underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues already revealed that Tarasenko was playing through a shoulder injury during the Stanley Cup Finals against Boston, but the star forward was also clearly dealing with an injured knee towards the end of the campaign. The 27-year-old Russian will be reevaluated in four weeks, so a more clear-cut timetable for his recovery should be established then. For now, he doesn't appear to be in any danger of not being ready for training camp.

Tarasenko played through a shoulder injury that he suffered during Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals against Boston, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko was able to play through the injury during the final five games of the series, but it clearly impacted his performance, as he was only able to pick up one goal and two points over that span after racking up five goals and 10 points in the Blues' previous 10 contests. General manager Doug Armstrong described Tarasenko's injury as "nothing too serious," so it doesn't sound like it will have much of an impact on the Russian sniper's offseason program. Nonetheless, fantasy owners considering snagging the 27-year-old in drafts this year will want to circle back for an update on his health once training camp gets underway in September.

Tarasenko notched an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Bruins in Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko scored three goals and added one helper in seven games in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Russian winger finished the postseason with 11 goals and 17 points in 26 appearances, adding 50 hits and 90 shots on goal.

Tarasenko scored his 10th goal of the playoffs Wednesday in a 3-2 overtime win against Boston in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday's win saw Tarasenko, in addition to scoring, dish out three hits. The Russian's goal came on a rebound -- off a shot from Jaden Schwartz -- and was Tarasenko's 10th point in his last eight games. In total, Taranseko has scored 10 goals and tallied 15 assists in 21 playoff games, making him as consistent a performer as you'll find in the league today.

Tarasenko scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

EDGE Analysis

The Russian winger picked up right where he left off nearly a week ago, potting his tally in the second period to give the Blues a 2-0 lead at the time. He'll need to be at the top of his game, but riding a seven-game point streak (four goals, five helpers) at this time of year makes Tarasenko one of the best fantasy options in the Cup finals.
