Huge blow for the defending Stanley Cup Champions the St. Louis Blues. Vladimir Tarasenko has left the Edmonton bubble and is getting evaluated for his shoulder injury. It’s the same shoulder that was surgically repaired a few months back.

In the four games he played in during these playoffs he was held off the score sheet and was a -1. Clearly he was still bothered by the injury and wasn’t producing at the level he is used to.
The Blues have won the last two games of the series against the Vancouver Canucks to even it at 2-2. They will have to now try to win the series without one of their top stars if they want to have a chance at a repeat. Game 5 is tomorrow night at 10:30pm.
