In case you live under a rock/have been busy on a Saturday, here’s some news for you: Vladimir Tarasenko is back.
He’s back at a perfect time, too. Since the Blues are riding a four game winning streak, there shouldn’t be any unreasonable expectations of him being a slump-buster. The team’s big guns have started to pick up the pace, so a scoresheet empty of Tarasenko isn’t a big deal tonight.
If he does get on the scoresheet, well, then that’s just gravy.
This has been a long short season for the Blues, but with Tarasenko back, it’s just about to be a lot shorter.
