Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Cruises to win against Wings
Rotowire
Tarasov made 24 saves in Wednesday's 8-1 rout over Detroit.
Justin Faulk spoiled his shutout bid late in the second period, but Tarasov was still able to end the regular season on a high note. The 27-year-old posted a 13-15-3 record with a 3.05 GAA and .895 save percentage over 33 outings in 2025-26, and with both Tarasov and Sergei Bobrovsky headed into free agency, the Panthers' crease could look very different next season.

Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Collects win Monday
Rotowire

The Panthers staked Tarasov to an early 2-0 lead, and while he eventually let it slip away, Cole Reinhardt bailed him out with a game-winner late in the third period. The 27-year-old Tarasov has taken over No. 1 duties from Sergei Bobrovsky in the Florida crease as the team plays out the string on the season, starting four of the last five games and going 2-1-1 with a 2.94 GAA and .880 save percentage.

Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Picks up win over Toronto
Rotowire
Tarasov stopped 17 of 19 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
In a battle between two teams seemingly racing to the bottom, Tarasov was able to prevail for his first win in four outings in April.

Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Struggles in Calgary
Rotowire
Tarasov stopped 32 of 36 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.
Tarasov kept the game fairly close until late in the third period. A.J. Greer was given a game misconduct for a reckless hit, and the Flames were able to cash in twice on the ensuing major penalty to pull away.

For the season, the 26-year-old goalie is 9-12-2 with a 3.00 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 24 appearances, which matches his career high.

Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Facing Flames on Friday
Rotowire
Tarasov will guard the road goal versus the Flames on Friday, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.
Tarasov will get the second half of a back-to-back after Sergei Bobrovsky shut out the Oilers on Thursday. The Panthers have alternated goalies for most of March, though this will be Tarasov's first outing in three games, so he's still in the backup role. It's an easy matchup, but the back-to-back factor could add some difficulty for Tarasov.
