Tarasov will man the Blue Jackets' crease for the second straight night as Elvis Merzlinkins recovers from an illness. Tarasov played well in his season debut, stopping 39 of 43 Caroline Hurricane shots on way to an eventual 4-1 loss. The 23-year-old netminder will be looking for his first career victory as he takes the crease for his fifth career start against the Lightning Friday.
