Blues' Vladimir Tarasenko: Shifted to new line

Tarasenko practiced Friday on a line with Patrik Berglund and Robby Fabbri, Tom Timmerman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

Tarasenko is riding a six-game streak without a goal, so coach Ken Hitchcock is hoping a change of scenery unlocks the Russian forward's scoring touch. On paper, the decision is a smart one, as Fabbri and Tarasenko have had good chemistry when playing on the same line earlier this season, and Berglund has been the team's hottest forward over the past month.
