Tarasenko assisted on two goals in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Ducks. One of the helpers was of the man-advantage variety.

EDGE Analysis

Tarasenko is averaging 0.86 points per game this season, which is slightly above his career average (0.84) spanning seven years of service time with the Blues. While he's been a bit streaky in the attacking zone, Tarasenko seems well-positioned to help St. Louis officially clinch a playoff berth with 16 games remaining on its regular-season schedule.

Tarasenko scored his 12th power-play goal of the season as part of a 5-2 loss to Dallas on Thursday.

Unlike Saturday, when Tarasenko was held in check until the third period, the 27-year-old wasted no time in extending his scoring streak to 12 games with a power-play tally a little over five minutes into Sunday's game. One of his helpers also came with the man advantage, giving Tarasenko 10 goals and 16 points on the power play -- matching his total from all of last season.
