The Blue Jackets recalled Jet Greaves on an emergency basis Friday due to Tarasov's illness. If Tarasov can't play against the Flames, then Elvis Merzlikins will likely serve as the starter while Greaves would be his understudy. | None |
| Nov. 17, 2024 | Tarasov turned aside 25 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens. - The 25-year-old netminder kept things close through two periods, but the Blue Jackets' defense fell apart in the third and Tarasov gave up three goals in less than five minutes as the Habs blew the game open.

| Nov. 10, 2024 | Tarasov will guard the road net Sunday versus Anaheim, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Tarasov will get the second half of Columbus' back-to-back after Elvis Merzlikins played in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

| Oct. 26, 2024 | Tarasov will get the road start Saturday against the Predators, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. - Tarasov will make his third straight start following a 26-save victory over Toronto on Tuesday. He has a 3-1-0 record in four appearances this season, allowing 13 goals on 116 shots.

The 25-year-old has won each of his first two starts this season, but he's given up eight goals on 54 shots and needed plenty of offensive support each time. With Elvis Merzlikins (upper body) banged up at the moment, Jet Greaves could get a turn between the pipes for Saturday's home game against the Wild. | None |
| Oct. 17, 2024 | Tarasov is in the starter's crease at morning skate, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports, and is expected to patrol the home crease versus Buffalo on Thursday. - Tarasov gave up four goals on 30 shots in a victory over Colorado on Saturday, his first appearance of the season.

| Oct. 5, 2024 | Tarasov gave up seven goals on 25 shots in Friday's 7-3 preseason loss to the Penguins. - Tarasov has been downright atrocious in the preseason and has allowed 13 goals on 68 shots across three starts. Even though he opened training camp competing for the starting role, all signs point to Elvis Merzlikins opening the year in that role. Tarasov went 8-11-3 with a .908 save percentage and a 3.18 GAA in 24 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. | None |
| Oct. 4, 2024 | Tarasov will protect the road goal Friday versus the Penguins, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports. - Tarasov will start the Blue Jackets' preseason finale. He's had poor results this preseason, allowing six goals on 43 shots over his previous two starts. As such, Tarasov is likely to begin the year as the backup to Elvis Merzlikins. | None |

| Sept. 27, 2024 | Tarasov will guard the road goal versus the Capitals on Friday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports. - Tarasov will be making his first start of the preseason in this contest. The 25-year-old is competing for the No. 1 job in goal for Columbus this season, though Elvis Merzlikins is likely to begin the year in that role. | None |
| Sept. 17, 2024 | Tarasov (upper body) will be available for the start of training camp, the team announced Tuesday. - Tarasov posted a record of 8-11-3 with a 3.18 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 24 regular-season appearances before missing six straight contests to conclude the 2023-24 campaign due to an upper-body issue. He will compete with Elvis Merzlikins for playing time in the upcoming season. | None |
| April 16, 2024 | Tarasov (upper body) won't be in the lineup Tuesday against the Hurricanes, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. - Tarasov will miss his sixth straight contest. He will finish the 2023-24 season with a record of 8-11-3, a 3.18 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 24 games played. Jet Greaves will be backed up by Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) in Tuesday's home game against Carolina. | None |
| April 6, 2024 | Per Dave Maetzold of Bally Sports Columbus, Tarasov (upper body) is still undergoing testing Saturday, according to coach Pascal Vincent. - Tarasov was shaken up Thursday versus the Islanders and was forced to leave the game in the second period after absorbing a hit to his head. His status is unknown at this time, but the Blue Jackets recalled Malcolm Subban from the minors on Friday. Look for Jet Greaves and Subban to split the starts on Saturday and Sunday if Tarasov is unable to play. | None |
| April 4, 2024 | Tarasov exited Thursday's tilt against the Islanders after sustaining an upper-body injury. He won't return to the contest. - Tarasov stopped 13 of 15 shots in 17:53 of ice time before departing the game. Jet Greaves took over between the pipes for Columbus. The Blue Jackets were already missing goaltender Elvis Merzlikins due to a lower-body injury. If Merzlikins and Tarasov are forced to miss additional time, then the Blue Jackets will likely lean on Greaves. | None |
| April 3, 2024 | Tarasov will patrol the home crease versus the Islanders on Thursday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Tarasov was fantastic in his last start Monday against the Avalanche, stopping 45 of 46 shots en route to an impressive 4-1 victory. He'll try to secure his ninth win of the season in a home matchup with an Isles squad that's 16-17-5 on the road this year. | None |
| April 1, 2024 | Tarasov will guard the home goal versus Colorado on Monday, NHL.com's Jeff Svoboda reports. - Tarasov has played pretty well over his last two starts, posting a combined .916 save percentage versus the Golden Knights and the Penguins, but he went 0-2-0 over that stretch due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. He'll try to get back in the win column in a rough home matchup with a red-hot Avalanche team that's gone 8-1-1 over its last 10 games. | None |
| March 28, 2024 | Tarasov will guard the cage for Thursday's road clash with Pittsburgh, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports. - Tarasov has started three of the Jackets' last seven outings, as the team has decided to split the workload between the 25-year-old and Elvis Merzlikins. Looking ahead to next season, Tarasov could be in the mix for the starting job, especially if the team honors Merzlikins's prior trade request. For now, Tarasov should get the nod in every other game. | None |
| March 23, 2024 | Tarasov is on track to guard the road net versus Vegas on Saturday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. - Tarasov gave up more than three goals for the first time in nine starts Tuesday, as the Red Wings put four past him on 26 shots in a 4-3 loss. Tarasov is 7-9-3 with a 3.20 GAA and a .903 save percentage, as he has taken over the reins as the No. 1 netminder in Columbus. The Golden Knights are averaging 3.16 goals, 14th in the NHL. | None |
| March 20, 2024 | Tarasov turned aside 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings. - Columbus jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period and were still leading 3-2 late in the third, but Lucas Raymond banged home a rebound with 13 seconds left in regulation to tie things up. Patrick Kane then snuck one short side on Tarasov early in OT. The 24-year-old netminder is still enjoying a strong start to March, going 3-1-1 in six outings with a 2.21 GAA and .937 save percentage -- a sharp contrast to Elvis Merzlikins' 4.10 GAA and .865 save percentage in four March appearances. | None |
| March 19, 2024 | Tarasov will guard the road goal Tuesday against the Red Wings, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Taraseov is coming off a 39-save performance in Saturday's 4-2 win over San Jose. He has provided a 7-9-2 record this season with a 3.16 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 19 games played. Detroit is tied for seventh in the league this campaign with 3.38 goals per contest. | None |
| March 16, 2024 | Tarasov was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate, Coby Maeir of 1st Ohio Battery reports, and is slated to get the home start versus San Jose on Saturday. - Tarasov has been spectacular since Feb. 13, going 3-3-1 with a 2.09 GAA and a .941 save percentage for a sub-par Blue Jackets team. Overall, the 24-year-old netminder is 6-9-2 with a 3.23 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 18 appearances this season. Tarasov will face a Sharks squad that ranks last in the NHL standings with 39 points through 65 games. | None |
| March 13, 2024 | Tarasov stopped all 19 shots he faced after replacing Elvis Merzlikins early in the first period of Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Canadiens. - Columbus looked like they'd stayed on the plane, coming out completely flat and hanging Merzlikins out to dry to begin the game. The Jackets' defensive effort picked up after Tarasov took over, but their offense never solved Cayden Primeau. The 24-year-old netminder appears to have taken a firm hold of the top job for the team, allowing three goals or less in seven straight outings while posting a 2.09 GAA and .941 save percentage. | None |
| March 9, 2024 | Tarasov will defend the home crease versus Nashville on Saturday, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers. - Tarasov will make his second straight start following a 29-save performance in Thursday's 4-2 win over Edmonton. The red-hot Predators have gone 9-0-1 in 10 games going into Saturday's matchup, so Tarasov has another challenging opponent to face. He has a 6-8-2 record with a 3.48 GAA and an .894 save percentage this season. | None |
| March 8, 2024 | Tarasov set aside 29 of 31 shots on the way to a 4-2 win over the Oilers on Thursday. - Tarasov was sharp after getting staked to an early 3-0 lead. The 24-year-old backstop certainly can be forgiven for permitting a high-slot one-timer to Zach Hyman in the second period and a power-play tally by veteran Corey Perry in the third. Tarasov has a pedestrian 6-8-2 record, 3.48 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 16 games on the season, but he may be turning things around -- over his last five starts, he's posted a 2.49 GAA and .929 save percentage during a stretch that's seen him face the Oilers, Golden Knights and Hurricanes. | None |
| March 7, 2024 | Tarasov will defend the home crease versus Edmonton on Thursday, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic. - Tarasov has been sharing the net with Elvis Merzlikins of late. Tarasov is 5-8-2 with a 3.58 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 15 appearances this season. He has a tough matchup against Connor McDavid and the Oilers, who have scored 214 goals in 60 games, sixth in the NHL. | None |
| March 4, 2024 | Tarasov will patrol the home crease Monday against the Golden Knights, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Tarasov has earned a .929 save percentage in his past three outings despite ending up with a 1-2-0 record. In 14 appearances this campaign, he has gone 4-8-2 with a 3.62 GAA and an .888 save percentage. Vegas is tied for 14th in the league with 3.18 goals per contest this season. | None |
| March 1, 2024 | Tarasov turned aside 28 of 31 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Carolina, with the Hurricanes' final goal coming into an empty net. - The 24-year-old netminder kept Carolina off the board in the first period, but once Teuvo Teravainen snuck a soft one past Tarasov just 53 seconds into the second period, things got away from Columbus. He's lost four of his last five starts, posting a 3.17 GAA and .901 save percentage over that stretch, and while the Jackets will keep him in the mix, Tarasov isn't putting much pressure on Elvis Merzlikins for the No. 1 job. | None |
| Feb. 29, 2024 | Tarasov is expected to start at home versus Carolina on Thursday, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. - Tarasov has a 4-7-2 record, 3.65 GAA and .887 save percentage in 13 outings in 2023-24. He saved 35 of 37 shots in his last start Friday but was charged with the loss due to insufficient goal support. Carolina is tied for 12th offensively with 3.27 goals per game, so this is likely to be a challenging assignment for Tarasov. | None |
| Feb. 24, 2024 | Tarasov stopped 35 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Sabres. - The 24-year-old netminder made some huge saves early to keep the Blue Jackets from getting blown out but didn't get much offensive support. Tarasov eventually gave up the game-winner early in the third period on a Connor Clifton shot through a screen. Tarasov has looked good while starting back-to-back games, allowing four goals on 66 shots, and he could be making a push for Elvis Merzlikins' starting job. | None |
| Feb. 23, 2024 | Tarasov will patrol the home crease versus the Sabres on Friday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Tarasov was pretty sharp in his last start Wednesday against Anaheim, turning aside 27 of 29 shots en route to a 7-4 victory -- Elvis Merzlikins surrendered two goals on two shots late in the second period when Tarasov briefly exited with an undisclosed injury, but Tarasov was able to return for the third and secure the win. Tarasov will try to earn his fifth victory of the season in a middling home matchup with a Buffalo team that's averaging 3.19 goals on the road this season, 15th in the NHL. | None |
| Feb. 22, 2024 | Tarasov allowed two goals on 29 shots in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Ducks. - Tarasov briefly left the game with an injury following a Mason McTavish goal in the second period. However, the 24-year-old Tarasov would return to start the third after Elvis Merzlikins allowed the Ducks to score twice, tying the game 4-4. Tarasov turned aside all 14 shots faced in the final frame as Columbus rallied with three unanswered goals for a 7-4 victory. Tarasov is now 2-2-0 with an .894 save percentage over his last four starts while sharing the crease with Merzlikins. Overall, Tarasov's 4-6-2 with an .881 save percentage and 3.78 GAA this season. | None |
| Feb. 21, 2024 | Tarasov will protect the road goal versus the Ducks on Wednesday, Blue Jackets broadcaster Dylan Tyrer reports. - Tarasov will get the second half of a back-to-back after Elvis Merzlikins was in net for Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Kings. The 24-year-old Tarasov has lost six of his last eight outings, allowing three or more goals in six of those games. The Ducks don't have much depth, but it'll still be a tough matchup for Tarasov behind a tired team. | None |
| Feb. 13, 2024 | Tarasov will start between the pipes in Tuesday's road game versus Ottawa, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Tarasov wasn't great in his last start Jan. 28 against the Kraken, surrendering three goals on only 25 shots en route to a 4-2 defeat. He'll try to secure his fourth win of the year in a road matchup with a hot Senators team that's won three straight contests, racking up 12 goals over that span. | None |
| Jan. 28, 2024 | Tarasov is expected to patrol the blue paint Sunday in Seattle. - Tarasov is coming off a big win against Calgary on Thursday, stopping 28 of 30 shots. It was his first appearance since Jan. 13 and it snapped a three-game losing skid. The 24-year-old has allowed at least four goals in six of his nine games this season, resulting in an unsightly .881 save percentage. | None |
| Jan. 25, 2024 | Tarasov will patrol the visiting crease in Calgary on Thursday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. - Tarasov has sat the last three games as Elvis Merzlikins was given a chance to regain his status as the No. 1 goaltender with the Blue Jackets. Tarasov has allowed 11 goals on 58 shots in his last two games, giving the 24-year-old a 2-4-2 record, to go with a 4.08 GAA and an .875 save percentage. Tarasov will face the Flames who have lost three straight games. | None |
| Jan. 13, 2024 | Tarasov allowed six goals on 35 shots in a 7-4 loss to the Kraken on Saturday. - He's stepping into the starting role with a bit of a thud. Elvis Merzlikins is expected to be granted a chance of scenery, but that could take time - he wants to start, not backup, so the number of potential suitors is small. Tarasov is talented, but the Jackets are struggling. Dating back to Dec. 30, he's seen 35 or more shots in four of his last five starts. Tarasov is definitely a dynasty guy, but he faces way too much rubber behind a porous team to be a safe play in redraft leagues. | None |
| Jan. 12, 2024 | Tarasov will get the starting nod at home versus the Kraken on Saturday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. - Tarasov is 1-2-2 with a 3.49 GAA in his last five games but continues to start ahead of Elvis Merzlikins, who is now looking for a trade away from Columbus, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. For his part, it seems the 24-year-old Tarasov will get an extended run as the Jackets' No. 1 netminder. | None |
| Jan. 9, 2024 | Tarasov will guard the cage on the road against Winnipeg on Tuesday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. - Tarasov has logged six NHL appearances this season, posting a 2-2-2 record, 3.60 GAA and .894 save percentage along the way. Even with the Jackets trying to get him some starts, the 24-year-old Tarasov is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value as long as the club continues to keep three netminders on the 23-man roster. | None |
| Jan. 7, 2024 | Tarasov turned aside 33 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota. - Cole Sillinger kept giving Columbus the lead with a goal in every period, but Tarasov could never make the leads stick, although two of the Wild's goals in regulation came on power plays. The 24-year-old netminder has started three of the last four games and six of 10 since coming off IR in mid-December, but his 2-2-2 record, 3.60 GAA and .894 save percentage put into question how long Tarasov will continue seeing that kind of workload. | None |
| Jan. 6, 2024 | Tarasov will be between the home pipes versus Minnesota on Saturday, per Columbus beat reporter Coby Maeir. - Tarasov has faced more than 40 shots in each of his last two games and has played exceptionally well, going 1-0-1. He stopped 39 shots in a 3-2 shootout win in Philadelphia on Thursday and was almost as sharp Dec. 30, turning aside 39 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss in Buffalo. Tarasov is 2-2-1 with a 3.55 GAA and an .895 save percentage in limited action this season after beginning the year on injured reserve with a knee injury. The Wild are averaging 2.95 goals per game, 24th in the NHL. | None |
| Jan. 4, 2024 | Tarasov (illness) will be between the road pipes versus Philadelphia on Thursday, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. - Tarasov turned in a strong performance in his last game, giving up three goals on 42 shots in an overtime loss in Buffalo on Saturday. Tarasov is 1-2-1 with a 4.02 GAA and an .877 save percentage, as he struggled in his first three games of the season. The Flyers have just returned from a five-game road trip that took them through Western Canada and Seattle, and could be a tired team Thursday. | None |
| Jan. 2, 2024 | Tarasov (illness) won't be in the lineup Tuesday against Boston, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. - Tarasov is day-to-day after missing Monday's practice because of an illness. Spencer Martin will start against the Bruins, with Elvis Merzlikins serving as the backup. | None |
| Jan. 1, 2024 | Tarasov (illness) won't take part in practice Monday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site . - Tarasov has stopped 114 of 130 shots in four starts this season. If he isn't available for Tuesday's contest against Boston, Elvis Merzlikins (illness) and Spencer Martin will serve as the goalie duo. Merzlikins was back at practice Monday, per Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch, after missing Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Buffalo. | None |
| Dec. 31, 2023 | Tarasov turned aside 39 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres. - The Blue Jackets were out-shot 42-20 and only came away with a point in the standings thanks to Tarasov, who made his most saves in a game since a 5-3 win over the Panthers in November 2022 during which he faced 50 shots. The 24-year-old netminder has started four of the last seven games, going 1-2-1 with a shaky 4.02 GAA and .877 save percentage, but Columbus appears intent on giving him steady work in a de facto timeshare with Elvis Merzlikins (illness). | None |
| Dec. 30, 2023 | Tarasov will patrol the visiting crease in Buffalo on Saturday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. - Tarasov is 1-2-0 this season, giving up 13 goals on only 88 shots. He missed the start of the season with a knee injury suffered in the offseason and finally made his NHL seasonal debut versus New Jersey on Dec. 16. The Sabres are averaging 30.1 shots on goal per contest, 21st in the league. | None |
| Dec. 23, 2023 | Tarasov will patrol the home crease Saturday against Toronto, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Tarasov is coming off a 25-save effort in Tuesday's 9-4 win over Buffalo. He has stopped 49 of 58 shots this campaign en route to a 1-1-0 record. The Maple Leafs rank fourth in the league this season with 3.57 goals per game. | None |
| Dec. 20, 2023 | Tarasov turned aside 25 shots in Tuesday's 9-4 rout of the Sabres. - Buffalo scored the first goal just 30 seconds into the contest, but Columbus then struck seven straight times over the next period and a half to build a lead even its porous defense couldn't squander. When they did get scoring chances though, the Sabres were consistently beating Tarasov to his blocker side, a leak the young netminder will need to address. The win was his first of the season, but a .828 save percentage in his first two starts doesn't create a lot of optimism that he'll be a useful fantasy asset, no matter what kind of offensive support Tarasov gets. | None |
| Dec. 19, 2023 | Tarasov will defend the road net Tuesday against the Sabres, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. - Tarasov will make a second straight start after he stopped 24 of 29 shots in a 6-3 loss to New Jersey on Saturday during his season debut. Columbus is attempting to get him back up to speed following his recovery from a knee injury. The Sabres sit 26th in the league this campaign with 2.81 goals per game. | None |
| Dec. 17, 2023 | Tarasov turned aside 24 of 29 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Devils. - New jersey's final goal was scored into an empty net. Making his first NHL start of the season, Tarasov got a quick taste of Columbus' defensive struggles when a Johnny Gaudreau turnover turned into a Jack Hughes goal just 47 seconds into the first period. Tarasov had little chance on any of the other four pucks that beat him, which included two more tallies by Hughes. Now that he's healthy, the 24-year-old will battle with Spencer Martin for backup action behind Elvis Merzlikins as the Jackets try to juggle three goalies. | None |
| Dec. 16, 2023 | Tarasov will guard the home net Saturday against the Devils, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Tarasov will make his first start of the year after recovering from an offseason knee injury. The 24-year-old netminder was 4-11-1 with an .892 save percentage with Columbus last season. He'll have a tough task against a New Jersey team that's averaging 3.48 goals per game. | None |
| Dec. 11, 2023 | Tarasov (knee) was recalled from his conditioning loan with AHL Cleveland on Monday. He was also activated from long-term injured reserve, per the NHL media site. - Tarasov appears to be ready to make his NHL season debut after a knee injury prevented him from participating in training camp. He posted a 4-11-1 record with a 3.91 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 17 appearances with the Blue Jackets last season. Tarasov could compete for starts with Spencer Martin until Elvis Merzlikins (illness) is available to return. | None |
| Dec. 2, 2023 | Tarasov (knee) was placed on long-term injured reserve on Saturday and sent to AHL Cleveland on a conditioning stint. - Tarasov has yet to play this season after going into training camp with a knee problem. Tarasov should get in plenty of playing time at Cleveland over the next eight days, as the Monsters play five times. Tarasov could replace Spencer Martin as the backup goaltender behind Elvis Merzlikins upon his return to the Columbus lineup. | None |
| Oct. 25, 2023 | Tarasov (knee) is still 2-3 weeks away from being ready to return, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. - Tarasov missed all of training camp and was placed on season-opening injured reserve. The 24-year-old will still need a little more time -- and potentially a conditioning stint with AHL Cleveland -- before he'll be ready to play. The success of Spencer Martin as Elvis Merzlikins' backup could make Tarasov's path to NHL time difficult this year. | None |
| Oct. 9, 2023 | Tarasov (knee) was placed on the injured/non-roster list Monday. - Tarasov won't be available for the start of the 2023-24 season after sitting out training camp due to a knee injury. He posted a 4-11-1 record for Columbus last season with a 3.91 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 17 appearances. Spencer Martin will go into the 2023-24 campaign as Elvis Merzlikins' backup. | None |
| Oct. 1, 2023 | Tarasov (knee) may not be ready for the start of the regular season, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. - The Blue Jackets were hoping Tarasov would be healthy enough to back up Elvis Merzlikins when games begin to count Oct. 12, but his uncertain status prompted the team to claim Spencer Martin off waivers from the Canucks. "We don't have a timeframe on Tarasov's injury right now; it's a work in progress," GM Jarmo Kekalainen said after making the claim. "We just wanted to make sure that we don't have to go into the season with not enough quality goaltenders who have experience and ability to play in the NHL." If Tarasov's absence does extend into the regular season, he could end up getting a rehab assignment at AHL Cleveland before rejoining the NHL roster. | None |
| Sept. 20, 2023 | Tarasov is dealing with a knee injury and is considered day-to-day as a result, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. - Tarasov had a 4-11-1 record, 3.91 GAA and .892 save percentage in 17 contests with the Blue Jackets in 2022-23. Provided he's healthy, Tarasov will compete with Aaron Dell for Columbus' backup job. | None |
| March 21, 2023 | Tarasov stopped 31 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime win over the Capitals. - Tarasov was shakey at times Tuesday, allowing six goals, including three in the first period. However, the Blue Jackets would rally to score three times in the third to tie the game before winning in overtime. The 23-year-old Tarasov improves to 4-11-1 with an .892 save percentage this season. He should continue to see the majority of starts in Columbus while Elvis Merzlikins (personal) remains unavailable. | None |
| March 20, 2023 | Tarasov stopped 24 of 29 shots before being replaced by Michael Hutchinson late in the second period of Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights. - The second frame was a disaster for Columbus, as Vegas scored four goals in just over six minutes to drive Tarasov from the crease, although the collapse was a total team effort. The Blue Jackets have the fewest points in the league and are angling to have the best odds of landing Connor Bedard in the 2023 NHL Draft, and they haven't given Tarasov much help since his latest promotion -- the 23-year-old netminder is 1-3-0 in four appearances with a 4.94 GAA and .862 save percentage. | None |
| March 19, 2023 | Tarasov will get the road start Sunday against the Golden Knights, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. - Tarasov struggled in his last outing Thursday, allowing four goals on 27 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Kings. The 24-year-old netminder will face a Vegas team averaging 3.2 goals per game. Tarasov is 3-10-1 this season with a .900 save percentage. | None |
| March 17, 2023 | Tarasov gave up four goals on 27 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kings. - While that looks like a full game's work on the surface, Tarasov only played 33:48. He was replaced by Michael Hutchinson after allowing the Kings' fourth tally in a span of 9:04 during the second period. With nine goals allowed over two appearances since rejoining the big club, Tarasov isn't doing much to be noticed in fantasy. He's at 3-10-1 with a 3.56 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 15 appearances this season. It's unclear which of Tarasov or Hutchinson will get the nod Friday in Anaheim. | None |
| March 14, 2023 | Tarasov will guard the road goal against San Jose on Tuesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Tarasov has a 2-9-1 record with a 3.28 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 13 appearances with the Blue Jackets this season. His last NHL start was a 26-save effort in a 2-1 loss to Nashville on Jan. 17. Tarasov was brought up from AHL Cleveland on Friday due to the absence of Elvis Merzlikins (personal). The Sharks sit 24th in the league this campaign with 2.87 goals per game. | None |
| March 10, 2023 | Tarasov was called up Friday by Columbus on an emergency basis. - Tarasov has a 2-9-1 record, 3.28 GAA and .908 save percentage in 13 games with Columbus this season. He's also posted a 4.07 GAA and an .871 save percentage in nine AHL contests with Cleveland in 2022-23. Tarasov was summoned because Elvis Merzlikins (personal) has returned to Latvia to be with family. Michael Hutchinson and Tarasov are projected to share the goaltending duties while Merzlikins is gone. | None |
| Jan. 20, 2023 | Tarasov was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Friday. - Tarasov has missed 10 of the last 12 games due to an upper-body injury -- he'll head to the minors to serve as Cleveland's featured netminder rather than split time with Elvis Merzlikins and Joonas Korpisalo with the big club. Tarasov's gone 2-9-1 while posting a 3.28 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 13 top-level appearances this season. | None |
| Jan. 17, 2023 | Tarasov will defend the road net Tuesday against Nashville, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - Tarasov has a 2-8-1 record this season with a 3.40 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 12 appearances with the Blue Jackets. He will get the second half of the team's back-to-back after Elvis Merzlikins played in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers. | None |
| Jan. 14, 2023 | Tarasov (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - Tarasov has 2-8-1 record with the Blue Jackets this season to go along with a 3.40 GAA and a .907 save percentage. He will back up Elvis Merzlikins on Saturday against Detroit because Joonas Korpisalo (personal) is unavailable. | None |
| Jan. 5, 2023 | Tarasov (upper body) remains unavailable for Thursday's game versus the Capitals, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. - Tarasov sustained an injury last Friday and is still not ready to suit up. The 23-year-old may still be a healthy scratch once he's healthy, or he could ultimately be reassigned to AHL Cleveland. | None |
| Dec. 31, 2022 | Tarasov suffered an upper-body injury at practice Friday, according to Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch. - Tarasov is day-to-day and could be sent to the minors upon his return, as Joonas Korpisalo and Elvis Merzlikins are both healthy. Tarasov is 2-8-1 with a 3.40 GAA and a .907 save percentage this season. | None |
| Dec. 23, 2022 | Tarasov will be between the visiting pipes in Chicago on Friday. - Tarasov has started the last four games, losing all four, as he is 2-7-1 with a 3.13 GAA and a .913 save percentage this season. The 23-year-old will face the Blackhawks, who are the NHL's lowest scoring team, scoring only 70 goals in 31 contests. | None |
| Dec. 21, 2022 | Tarasov turned aside 34 of 38 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers. - Philadelphia's final tally was scored into an empty net. Tarasov has started four straight games and lost all four, but the 23-year-old netminder's 3.07 GAA and .913 save percentage during that stretch suggest the Blue Jackets' poor defense is more to blame than he is. With Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) on IR and Elvis Merzlikins (illness) fighting the puck when he's been healthy, Tarasov has become the de facto No. 1 goalie for Columbus. | None |
| Dec. 19, 2022 | Tarasov will tend to the home goal Monday against Dallas, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - Tarasov will make his third straight start despite allowing seven goals on 67 shots in losses to Tampa Bay and Boston in his previous two outings. He has a 2-5-1 record this season with a 3.27 GAA and a .908 save percentage in nine appearances. The Stars sit fourth in the league this year with 3.63 goals per game. | None |
| Dec. 17, 2022 | Tarasov will guard the visiting crease against Boston on Saturday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - Tarasov will get his second straight start as the Blue Jackets are giving Elvis Merzlikins extra time to get his game back as he has given up 19 goals on 138 shots in his last five games. Tarasov gave up three goals on 28 shots in a loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday and is 2-4-1 with a 3.14 GAA and a .910 save percentage this season. He faces the best team in the NHL, as the Bruins are 23-4-2 this season. | None |
| Dec. 16, 2022 | Tarasov stopped 25 of 28 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning. - Tampa Bay's final goal was scored into an empty net. Tarasov might want the Bolts' first goal back -- a shot from the top of the faceoff circle by Pierre-Edouard Bellemare that the netminder got a clean look at -- but otherwise the Blue Jackets were simply outmatched on the night. Tarasov is now 2-4-1 in the NHL this season with a 3.14 GAA and .910 save percentage, solid numbers compared to the struggles of Elvis Merzlikins (4.68/.864), but as yet there's no indication he'll get a look in the top job for Columbus while Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) is sidelined. | None |
| Dec. 15, 2022 | Tarasov will defend the road goal against Tampa Bay on Thursday, according to Dave Maetzold of Bally Sports Ohio. - Tarasov was recalled Monday as Joonas Korpisalo is still out with a lower body injury. Tarasov is 2-3-1 with a 3.17 GAA and a .912 save percentage as he has been the best goalie this season for the Blue Jackets as far as statistics go. He will face the Lightning, who are averaging 3.61 goals per game. | None |
| Dec. 12, 2022 | Tarasov was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Monday. - In a corresponding move, the Blue Jackets assigned Jet Greaves to the minors. Tarasov has a 2-3-1 record with a 3.17 GAA and a .912 save percentage in seven appearances with Columbus this season. He will serve as the backup goalie behind Elvis Merzlikins during the absence of Joonas Korpisalo (lower body). | None |
| Nov. 28, 2022 | Tarasov will be between the pipes for Monday's home game against Vegas. Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - Tarasov stopped 47 shots in a 5-3 win over Florida on Nov. 20 during his last outing. He has a 2-3-0 record this season with a 3.46 GAA and a .906 save percentage in six NHL appearances. Vegas has been outscored 9-3 during a two-game losing skid going into Monday's contest versus the Blue Jackets. | None |
| Nov. 25, 2022 | Tarasov and the Blue Jackets' contest versus the Predators on Saturday has been postponed. - The NHL decided to push back the contest after the event level at Bridgestone Arena was impacted by a water main break. Tarasov might have otherwise started Saturday given that Joonas Korpisalo is scheduled to play between the pipes Friday against the Islanders. A makeup date for Columbus' game against Nashville hasn't been determined yet. | None |
| Nov. 20, 2022 | Tarasov will guard the home goal Sunday against Florida, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - Tarasov will get the second half of Columbus' back-to-back after Joonas Korpisalo played in Saturday's 6-1 loss to Detroit. The former has a 1-3-0 record this season with a 3.57 GAA and an .893 save percentage in five NHL appearances. Tarasov was called up from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday after Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) was injured. | None |
| Nov. 16, 2022 | Tarasov was called up Wednesday, per the NHL media site. - Tarasov has a 3.57 GAA and .893 save percentage in five games with Columbus this season. He's back with the Blue Jackets because Elvis Merzlikins sustained a lower-body injury during Tuesday's contest. As long as Merzlikins is unavailable, Tarasov should be expected to serve of the Blue Jackets' No. 2 goaltender behind Joonas Korpisalo. | None |
| Nov. 6, 2022 | Tarasov was assigned to AHL Cleveland on Sunday. - Tarasov posted a 1-3-0 record with a 3.57 GAA and an .893 save percentage in five appearances with Columbus. Joonas Korpisalo is ready to take over as the team's backup goalie behind Elvis Merzlikins after recovering from hip surgery, and Tarasov should see an increase in starts in the minors. | None |
| Oct. 28, 2022 | Tarasov stopped all six shots he faced after replacing Elvis Merzlikins to begin the third period of Friday's 4-0 loss to the Bruins. - Another game, another starting goalie getting the hook for the Blue Jackets, although this time Tarasov and Merzlikins saw their roles reversed from Tuesday's loss to the Coyotes. Of the two netminders, Tarasov has marginally better numbers so far, but he's still likely to get bumped back to AHL Cleveland once Joonas Korpisalo (hip) is deemed ready to rejoin the club. | None |
| Oct. 25, 2022 | Tarasov will get the starting nod at home versus Arizona on Tuesday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - Tarasov will defend the cage after his 30-save win over the Rangers on Sunday in which he conceded just one goal. With Joonas Korpisalo (hip) still sidelined, it seems the door is open for the 23-year-old Tarasov to steal some starts away from Elvis Merzlikins. Still, once Korpisalo is cleared to play, Tarasov likely will find himself back in the minors considering he is waiver exempt and can simply move between levels. | None |
| Oct. 23, 2022 | Tarasov will be between the pipes for Sunday's road game against the Rangers, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - Tarasov will get the second half of the back-to-back after Elvis Merzlikins played in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh. He has lost his previous two starts this year, giving up nine goals on 82 shots to the Lightning and Hurricanes. Tarasov has another difficult matchup in a Rangers team that is off to a 3-1-1 start. | None |
| Oct. 14, 2022 | Tarasov will guard the home net against the Lightning on Friday, according to Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda. - Tarasov will get his second straight start as Elvis Merzlikins, who missed the first game of the campaign with an illness, will be the backup. Tarasov stopped 39 of 43 shots Wednesday in a 4-1 loss to Carolina and will have another tough go against the high-scoring Lightning who dropped a 3-1 decision to the Rangers in their opener Tuesday. | None |
| Oct. 12, 2022 | Tarasov will get the starting nod on the road versus the Hurricanes on Wednesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. - The 23-year-old steps into the crease for Opening Night after starter Elvis Merzlikins was ruled out due to illness. Once Merzlikins is 100 percent, Tarasov should fill the backup role for the Jackets at least until Joonas Korpisalo (hip) is cleared to play. In the meantime, Tarasov will be making just his fifth NHL appearance Wednesday. | None |
| Oct. 8, 2022 | Tarasov is likely to start the season as the Blue Jackets' backup goaltender, according to Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda. - Joonas Korpisalo is expected to be the backup when he returns from hip surgery, but for now, Tarasov will start the season with the Blue Jackets as the team's No. 2 netminder behind Elvis Merzlikins. He drew into four games with Columbus last season, going 0-2-0 with a 2.40 GAA and a .937 save percentage. | None |
| Oct. 6, 2022 | Tarasov is expected to get the whole game at home versus the Blues on Thursday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. - Depending on Joonas Korpisalo's (hip) health, Tarasov could start the regular season as Columbus' No. 2 netminder behind Elvis Merzlikins. Tarasov went 0-2-0 while posting a 2.40 GAA and a .937 save percentage through four top-level appearances last year. | None |
| Oct. 3, 2022 | Tarasov is expected to tend the twine on the road versus the Hurricanes on Monday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. - Tarasov logged just four games with the Jackets last season in which he posted a 0-2-0 record and 2.40 GAA. Depending on the healthy of Joonas Korpisalo (hip), Tarasov could enter the season as the No. 2 option, though he will likely be reassigned to the minors once Korpisalo is given the all-clear. | None |
| Sept. 28, 2022 | Tarasov will get the starting nod at home versus Buffalo on Wednesday, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports. - Tarasov could be in line to make the 23-man roster with Joonas Korpisalo (hip) still recovering from offseason hip surgery. Still, once Korpisalo is cleared for game action, Tarasov figures to be sent down to the minors where he will stay barring an additional netminding injury. | None |
| Sept. 21, 2022 | Tarasov (hip) cleared his physical Wednesday and will be on the ice for the first practice of training camp Thursday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. - Tarasov underwent season-ending hip surgery in late February after appearing in four games with the Blue Jackets, going 0-2-0 while posting a 2.40 GAA and a .937 save percentage over that span. Despite his impressive numbers in limited action, look for the 23-year-old to spend most of the 2022-23 campaign in the minors. | None |
| June 15, 2022 | Tarasov (hip) put pen to paper on a three-year, $3.15 million contract extension with Columbus on Wednesday. - Tarasov figures to enter the upcoming season as the No. 3 option for the Jackets, so fantasy players should expect him to play the bulk of his games in the minors. Still, the 23-year-old netminder could challenge for a spot on the Opening Night roster during training camp, especially with teammate Joonas Korpisalo also coming off midseason hip surgery. | None |
| Feb. 23, 2022 | Tarasov (hip) underwent surgery Wednesday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. The goalie's recovery time is expected to be six months. - Tarasov had been out since suffering a lower-body injury Jan. 1. He tried to rest and recover, but it was decided surgery was the better option. The 22-year-old is expected to be ready to play by training camp, where he'll likely compete for a spot on the Blue Jackets' roster next season. | None |
