Tarasenko (shoulder) has a “good chance” to play on the Blues’ upcoming six-game road trip.

Tarasenko skated on a line with Brayden Schenn in Friday’s practice, indicating that he’s getting very close to making his season debut. The Blues start a six-game road trip on Saturday in San Jose and it goes until Monday, March 8th, so look for Tarasenko to debut sometime in the next week.

Zuccarello (arm) was activated from LTIR and is expected to make his season debut on Tuesday.

Zuccarello missed the first month of the season after undergoing surgery on his right arm in early-December. He'll make his season debut on Tuesday but will be eased back into the lineup, starting on the fourth line with Luke Johnson and Gerald Mayhew. Zuccarello had 15 goals with 22 assists (37 points) in 65 games a season ago.
