Blues' Vladimir Tarasenko: Scores in Russia's 3-0 win over Finland

Tarasenko helped Russia advance to the World Cup of Hockey semifinals with a goal in their 3-0 win over Finland on Thursday.

Analysis:

This was a slow-paced game that saw both teams combine for only 43 shots on goal, but that didn't stop Tarasenko from tying for the team lead with three shots and scoring his second goal of the tournament to give Russia a 1-0 second-period lead that was never relinquished. It's not surprising to see the Blues sniper making an impact here after he scored 77 goals in the past two seasons for his NHL club.
