Vladimir Tarasenko Unavailable Saturday
2 years agoSt. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko is battling an illness and won't be able to play Saturday versus Anaheim. He is sitting out for the first time this season. The Russian winger finds himself on a seven-game goal drought, but he has had a solid start to the campaign with 13 points in 16 games. His absence gives Alexey Toropchenko a chance to re-enter the lineup and he will even skate on the top line. It's going to be his first game since Nov. 8, and Toropchenko will try to finally make a significant mark up front after posting only one point in 11 games this season.
