Daniil Tarasov News: Starting against Carolina

Tarasov will defend the road crease during Wednesday's preseason game against Carolina, Panthers play-by-play announcer Steve Goldstein reports.

After four seasons in Columbus, Tarasov joined the Panthers during the offseason and should serve as Sergei Bobrovsky's backup this year. Tarasov made 20 regular-season appearances for the Blue Jackets last year and went 7-10-2 with a 3.55 GAA and .880 save percentage.
