If the Los Angeles Kings weren’t a little concerned about tonight’s game, well, maybe they should be. Vladimir Tarasenko has been officially removed from IR and will be skating in tonight’s game. He hasn’t played a regular season game since October of 2019, also against the Kings, when he injured his shoulder. He played only a couple of games against the Canucks in the playoff bubble before being shut down and sent home for surgery.
To say the Blues and Tarasenko are excited is an understatement:
“I think as an organization and as a team, we’re ready for him to come back,” Brayden Schenn said.
