Tarasov Joins Detroit for $2M, Eyes Top Goalie Role

Summary

  • Goalie Tarasov signed a one-year, $2 million contract with Detroit.
  • He is expected to be the No. 2 goalie behind John Gibson.
  • Tarasov posted a 3.05 GAA with the Panthers last season.

Goaltender Anton Tarasov has agreed to terms on a one-year contract worth $2 million with the Detroit Red Wings. This signing positions Tarasov as the likely No. 2 goalie on the roster, providing depth behind established starter John Gibson.

With a strong performance, Tarasov could potentially become the team's goaltender of the future. Last season, the 27-year-old played for the Florida Panthers, where he registered a 3.05 goals-against average. Despite facing a team impacted by numerous injuries, Tarasov is expected to receive a similar workload in Detroit, with the possibility of earning a more significant role.
