Daniil Tarasov stands tall in OT victory over Utah
by Bruno Mulé | Panthers Correspondent | Sat, Feb 1st 10:04am EST
Daniil Tarasov stopped 31 of 33 shots in Friday’s 3-2 overtime win against Utah.
Fantasy Impact:
Tarasov allowed goals early in the second and third periods but held firm as Columbus mounted a comeback. The 25-year-old finished January with two wins in four outings while surrendering 10 total goals. Despite this solid performance, he remains firmly in a backup role behind Elvis Merzlikins and will need sustained strong play to earn a larger share of starts. Tarasov now sits at 5-7-2 with a 3.69 GAA and an .876 save percentage across 14 appearances this season. With Columbus heading to Dallas on Sunday, he may return to the bench as Merzlikins reclaims the crease.
