Honored Russian coach Yuri Novikov spoke about the Russian goalkeeper’s performance Columbus Blue Jackets Daniel Tarasov who, in the face of serious competition, was able to enter the NHL.
— Daniil Tarasov is the son of the famous goalkeeper Vadim Tarasov, with whom I had the chance to work in Novokuznetsk. In 2000, when Metallurg became the bronze medalist of the Russian Championship, he was recognized as the best goalkeeper of the season. This is how his son also became a goalie and reached the NHL in the fiercest competition. They still had to win it, including against their North American colleagues. This is worthy of respect and praise,” Novikov told RB Sport.
This season, 25-year-old Tarasov played eight matches for Columbus, during which he reflected an average of 86.1% of shots.
