Tarasov has been excellent lately but has served as the backup in two of the last three games. He will return to the crease on Tuesday and look to continue his streak of allowing three or fewer goals in eight straight games, including saving 39 of 41 shots (.951 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-2 win over the San Jose Sharks. The Blue Jackets enter action as +150 road underdogs against a Detroit Red Wings club with only one win in their last nine games (1-8-0).
