25-Year-Old GoalieG
Columbus Blue Jackets
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Tarasov started 2023-24 slowly, but between Feb. 21 and March 19, he registered an excellent .934 save percentage and a 2.30 GAA in nine games. He performed well despite the ongoing drama in the room and defense with more holes than Swiss cheese. Tarasov has shown he deserves the starter's role, and he could earn that position due to Elvis Merzlikins' deteriorating play. The 25-year-old Tarasov must stay healthy, but that's a refrain heard from many nets in the NHL. At a minimum, he will be the strong side of a platoon and deliver slightly above-average netminding, but issues with consistency and the team in front of him could drag down his fantasy appeal Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, $3.15 million contract extension with the Blue Jackets in June of 2022.
Scorched in loss
GColumbus Blue Jackets
November 2, 2024
Tarasov turned aside 15 of 22 shots in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Capitals.
ANALYSIS
The Capitals scored on their first three shots and put five on Tarasov in the first period alone. The 25-year-old has given up three or more goals in five of his six starts this season despite posting a 3-2-1 record over that span, making him a risky fantasy play at this time.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Tarasov got into 17 games for the Blue Jackets a season ago and as you would have imagined while playing behind one of the worst teams in the NHL, it didn't go well. He managed a 4-11-1 record along with a horrific 3.91 GAA and .892 save percentage. Tarasov was no better (5-5-0, 3.85 GAA, .882 save percentage) in 11 AHL appearances. Still just 24 years of age, Tarasov is slated to open the 2023-24 campaign as the backup to Elvis Merzlikins, but Columbus would be in real trouble if forced to lean on Tarasov for any significant length of time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might start Tuesday
GColumbus Blue Jackets
October 22, 2024
Tarasov is manning the starter's net during Tuesday's practice, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers, indicating that he might guard the home goal in the evening's game against Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Tarasov has allowed at least three goals in each of his first three starts in 2024-25. The Maple Leafs have a strong forward corps and have scored at least four goals in four of their past five games, so it would be a challenging assignment for Tarasov if he gets the start.
