Athletistic / Hockey. Florida Panthers head coach Paul Maurice praised the debut of Russian forward Vladimir Tarasenko. The Panthers coach noticed that the 32-year-old Russian sometimes acted in ways that were unusual for him.

“I liked the fact that today Tarasenko did things that were not typical for his skills. Vladimir’s skills are good, we don’t mind. However, in this match he blocked the opponent’s shots. Tarasenko very quickly got used to the new patterns of play. », – Quoted by Maurice Five Reasons Sports.

Florida lost to the Philadelphia Flyers at home last night with a score of 1:2. Vladimir Tarasenko spent 15 minutes 9 seconds on the ice and scored two shots on target.

Tarasenko was traded to the Ottawa Senators in Florida on March 6. Previously, the Russian managed to play in the NHL for the New York Rangers and the St. Louis Blues. As a member of the Bluesmen, Tarasenko won the Stanley Cup in 2019.
