Blues' Vladimir Tarasenko: Finishes off Sharks in Thursday win

Tarasenko had eight shots on goal and scored two third-period goals in Thursday's 4-1 win over San Jose.

Analysis:

Tarasenko extended a one-goal lead when he crashed the net and banged home a rebound off the crossbar for a power-play goal, then dusted the Sharks with an empty-netter. It was a nice bounceback effort for the team and Tarasenko, who had just one shot in Wednesday's listless loss to the Ducks.
