Panthers' Vladimir Tarasenko: First three points in new uniform

Tarasenko scored twice and added an assist in a 5-1 win over Calgary on Saturday.

Tarasenko got his first points with the Panthers during his second outing with the team. He put Florida up 1-0 just 23 seconds into the second period when he intercepted a clearing pass from Jonathan Huberdeau deep in the Flames' zone and fired it past Jacob Markstrom. His second tally of the contest went through Markstrom later in the same frame. The 32-year-old Tarasenko has been playing on a line with Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart, which will help him with his two-way play. There's no downside to putting Tarasenko into your lineup. He is out to prove he can be a player of consequence again, and so far, so good.
