Senators’ Tarasenko sits out against Stars to attend to family matter
DALLAS (AP) — Ottawa Senators forward Vladimir Tarasenko sat out Friday night against the Dallas Stars to attend to a family matter, missing what would have been his 700th NHL game.
The team announced the move a few hours before game time.
The 32-year-old Tarasenko has six goals and 13 assists in 24 games this season. He joined the Senators last summer as a free agent after splitting last season between St. Louis and New York.
Tarasenko was replaced in the lineup by Rourke Chariter.
The Senators, with an 11-13-0 record, entered Friday’s action in Dallas on a two-game losing streak.
