St. Louis' contest against Vancouver on Monday couldn't have gone much worse for the Blues. Not only did they lose, 4-1, and spoil a chance to move within one point of the first-place Nashville Predators, but Vladimir Tarasenko left the game early with an apparent injury. He was seen walking with a slight limp after the game concluded.

— St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) March 31, 2015 It goes without saying that losing Tarasenko for an extended amount of time would be a huge blow to St. Louis. The gifted Russian has 71 points (36 goals, 35 assists) in 76 games this year, a team-high. While his status remains unclear, it’s encouraging that he was moving around on his own after sustaining the injury, even if he didn’t appear 100 percent.
