Tarasov finished 7-10-2 with one shutout, a 3.54 goals-against average and an .881 save percentage in 20 games in 2024-25, his fourth season with the Blue Jackets.
Drafted in the third round by Columbus in 2017, the 6-foot-5 Tarasov is 19-34-6 with a 3.44 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 65 career appearances.
