The palpable anticipation that exuded from the stands before Vladimir Tarasenko took the Madison Square Garden ice for the first time in a Rangers sweater was only rivaled by the way they erupted after he scored less than three minutes into the game Friday night.
There was a lot to like about the trade with the Blues that unfolded Thursday afternoon, especially the strategic haul of two conditional draft picks, Sammy Blais and prospect Hunter Skinner that Drury sent to St. Louis to make it happen, but there was even more to like after watching Tarasenko in action.Robert Sabo for NY Post
The Kraken may have threatened to rain on the Rangers parade with two goals in the span of 22 seconds in the third period to make it a two-goal game, but the home team — aided by Ryan Lindgren’s first goal of the season into an empty net on a late penalty kill — hung on to ensure their new teammates started their New York tenures on the right foot.
The Blues never offered a deal and since the club is well out of the playoff picture, Tarasenko expected to be moved at some point this season. Change is something the Russian winger said he doesn’t particularly like, citing the fact that he wears the same equipment for many years and won’t switch. A trade was bound to happen, but the safety net of a no-trade clause allowed Tarasenko to have a say in his destination.
