Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Forward Vladimir Tarasenko left practice early yesterday with an upper-body issue.

“It started last game,” Yeo said, referring to Saturday’s 6-4 victory over Toronto. “He aggravated something in the first period and he was able to get through the game. A little sore today, so we just got him off the ice.”

Tarasenko’s status for tonight’s game against the Devils is uncertain.

“He was sore. So obviously we’ll monitor it and see how he is for tomorrow.”
