Two off-seasons ago Vladimir Tarasenko had surgery to repair a dislocated left shoulder. In game two of the Stanley Cup Final, the shoulder injury was aggravated, and it needed to be rehabbed over the summer.
Thursday night, Tarasenko left the game during the first period, and did not return. The Blues announced today that he will not be traveling with the team to their games in Boston on Saturday and and in Detroit on Sunday.
Blues fans wondered when he left the game last night if it was shoulder related.
