St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko did everything you could expect from your top player Wednesday, except what most Blues fans measure his performance by, scoring. Although that night he was not the only Blues player guilty of that sin.
Tarasenko led the team, along with Robbie Fabbri and Colton Parayko, in shots on goal. In a game where the Blues outshot the Blackhawks by ten. He also had a key poke check on a sprawling play to prevent a breakaway on Jake Allen.
This game illustrated all things Tarasenko does for the Blues aside from scoring.
