LAS VEGAS — Vladimir Tarasenko's tenure with the St. Louis Blues was a hot topic during the offseason after he requested a trade earlier in the summer, and again after the team left the 29-year-old winger unprotected in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft. The organization might be thankful he's still wearing a Blues sweater. Tarasenko broke a tie midway through the third period in St. Louis' 3-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday night. "Happy for him. He's been working so hard," said Blues goalie Jordan Binnington, who made 42 saves.
