The TarasenkShow hit Winnipeg on Sunday, and it was worth the price of admission.
St. Louis Blues superstar Vladimir Tarasenko scored a pretty opening goal against the Jets, cutting to the middle before rifling the puck upstairs on Ondrej Pavelec, who never had a chance.
Time for the Tarasenk-Show! #STLvsWPG

There may not be a better release in hockey.
Tarasenko added his second of the game in the third period, giving him five goals on the season. That puts him in a tie for first in the NHL with Dallas Stars winger Jamie Benn, Minnesota Wild forward Zach Parise, and Montreal Canadiens center Tomas Plekanec.
