Panthers' Vladimir Tarasenko: Scores first of series

Tarasenko scored a goal that stood as the game-winner in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Rangers in Game 6.

Tarasenko registered his first point of the series when he gave Florida a 2-0 lead just before the midway point of the third period. The 32-year-old has faced his share of struggles during the postseason -- he was recently demoted to the third line after serving mostly in a top-six role since he was traded from Ottawa. He did have a crucial marker against his former club in Game 6, so perhaps this game serves as a confidence booster for Tarasenko ahead of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Russian native has three goals and three assists and a plus-4 rating in 17 postseason contests.
