Tarasenko scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Sharks in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
The first-period tally would ultimately stand as the series-clinching goal, as the Sharks only beat Blues goalie Jordan Binnington once. Tarasenko registered a point in every game of the Western Conference finals, compiling three goals and five helpers in the six-game series after managing just five goals in the first two rounds combined. Tarasenko will need to continue to be the center of the Blues' offense as they meet the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Tarasenko scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, during Sunday's 5-0 win over the Sharks in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old sniper had been remarkably quiet so far in the postseason, managing only one multi-point effort while scoring six goals and nine points through 17 games coming into Sunday, but Tarasenko picked a great time to bust out. He'll look to extend his five-game point streak Tuesday on home ice, as the Blues attempt to advance to their first Stanley Cup appearance in nearly a half-century.

Tarasenko provided a power-play helper and three hits in Friday's 2-1 win over the Sharks in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Tarasenko has recorded one point in each game of the series, with a goal and three helpers to go with 12 shots and 13 hits in four contests. He had only five points through the Blues' first 13 playoff games, but it's safe to say his previous struggles are behind him now. Tarasenko will need to continue to produce as the series shifts to San Jose for a pivotal Game 5.

Tarasenko managed an assist and six shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.
EDGE Analysis
Tarasenko accounted for nearly a quarter of all the pucks directed at Sharks goalie Martin Jones, but he was unable to find twine for the fifth straight game. Tarasenko has struggled a bit with seven points through 15 games, but he has recorded an assist in both games versus the Sharks.

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.

Tarasenko scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Tarasenko has scored three goals in the series, giving him five tallies overall in the playoffs. He also has 19 hits and 36 shots on goal so far. Four of his goals have come on the man advantage. He's playing a bit one-dimensionally, but when that one dimension is goals, it's still enough for fantasy owners to work with.

Tarasenko scored two goals with one coming on the power play in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Stars in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Tarasenko needed just one game in the second round to match his scoring output over six games against the Jets in the first round. The five-time 30-goal scorer will look to continue to make an impact on the scoresheet in Saturday's Game 2.

Tarasenko lit the lamp on the power play of Tuesday's Game 4 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Tarasenko continues to shoot at a high volume with 18 shots through four playoff games. It's paying off, too, as he now has power-play goals in back-to-back games, although both contests ended in defeat. Tarasenko now has 24 goals in 48 career playoff games, which is the highest mark for all Western Conference players since 2014, according to Sportsnet.

Tarasenko scored a power-play marker on three shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Jets in Game 3 of their first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
Tarasenko didn't make it on the scoresheet as the Blues won the first two games of the series, but he broke the mini-slump in Sunday's loss. He has fired 12 shots on goal and added four hits in the series so far. Tarasenko has scored no less than 33 goals in the last five campaigns, so there's an expectation for him to make a stronger showing in the playoffs.
