Blue Jackets' Daniil Tarasov: Pulled early in Sunday's loss

Tarasov stopped four of six shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Senators.

Tarasov was pulled after just 4:26 of Sunday's contest and replaced by Elvis Merzlikins. Tarasov conceded two early goals and was credited with the loss. Overall, the 26-year-old netminder has a 7-10-2 record with a 3.55 GAA and a .880 save percentage in 20 appearances this season. With the Blue Jackets falling out of the wild-card race in the Eastern Conference, Tarasov may get a few more starts to round out the regular season. However, it is best to fade him in all fantasy formats amid his struggles this season.
