Tarasov is expected to start on the road in Saturday's game versus the Canadiens, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis:It will be Tarasov's first start of the campaign. The 27-year-old netminder has settled in as backup to John Gibson early in 2026-27. The Red Wings' offense has been inconsistent so far, making Tarasov a risky option on the second half of a back-to-back.
