2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was a pivotal year for Tarasov's NHL future, and he didn't rise to the challenge in 2024-25. The 26-year-old netminder went 7-10-2 with a 3.55 GAA and an .880 save percentage over 20 games. The numbers were just one part of the story -- Tarasov also lost opportunities to Jet Greaves at times throughout 2024-25, and Greaves' surge late in the season could leave a lasting impression. All this led to the Jackets' decision to trade Tarasov away to the Panthers this offseason. The youngster is a restricted free agent this summer, so he'll still need a new contract before he can serve as the No. 2 option behind Sergei Bobrovsky. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $1.05 million contract with the Panthers in July of 2025.
Facing Anaheim
GFlorida Panthers
October 28, 2025
Tarasov will be between the home pipes Tuesday against the Ducks.
ANALYSIS
Tarasov has allowed a total of six goals split evenly across a pair of starts so far in 2025-26, as he hasn't received a lot of action behind workhorse Sergei Bobrovsky. The 26-year-old Tarasov will take on an Anaheim squad that has found the back of the net 15 times over its last three games, a span in which the Ducks are 2-1-0.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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
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
Poised to start against Ducks
GFlorida Panthers
October 28, 2025
Tarasov looks likely to guard the crease at home versus Anaheim on Tuesday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
ANALYSIS
Tarasov would be making just his third appearance of the season, having gone 0-2-0 with a 3.08 GAA in his previous two tilts. Sitting behind a workhorse No. 1 like Sergei Bobrovsky, the 26-year-old Tarasov shouldn't be expected to see a ton of work this year, making him a low-end fantasy target at best.
