"He's on the ice, he's skating now," Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong told reporters on Wednesday afternoon. "His shoulder certainly isn't 100 percent right now, but it's at a point where the safety mechanisms are in place where we feel he can skate. He can receive passes, make passes, and shoot to a level of his comfort.
"He's still aways away," Armstrong added. "We won't see him for a number of weeks, but he certainly is on the right track."
Tarasenko has been out of the lineup since re-injuring his surgically-repaired shoulder last August.
The 29-year-old forward played just two games in last season's first-round series against the Vancouver Canucks.
