Shades of Shanahan: Tarasenko records 2nd straight 30-goal season

The St. Louis Blues have a special player in Vladimir Tarasenko.

With this snipe Tuesday in Ottawa, the 24-year-old's 30th goal of the season, Tarasenko became the youngest Blues player with back-to-back 30-goal campaigns since Brendan Shanahan in 1992-93 and 1993-94.

Shanahan reached 51 and 52 goals at ages 24 and 25, respectively, while Tarasenko's career high to date is 37. Unlike Shanahan, however, Tarasenko will likely be in St. Louis for the majority of his career.
