Vladimir Tarasenko nets two as Blues win season opener
St. Louis Blues winger Vladimir Tarasenko had two goals and one assist as the Blues beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-2 to open their season on Wednesday night.
Tarasenko is no stranger to finding the back of the net, and he has finished top-five in goals scored in each of the last two seasons.
Our models project Tarasenko for 39 goals -- the fifth most in the league -- as well as 39 assists this season. Those 78 points would mark a career-high.
