Tarasenko, a native of Yaroslavl, Russia, met up with the Cup right near the Trans-Siberian Railway, the longest railway in the world at 5,772 miles. Once the Cup arrived, Tarasenko brought it to be with his family, wife Yana, their three sons and his father Andrei and grandfather. Instagram from @tarasenko.yana: More information
Just a day earlier, teammate Ivan Barbashev had the Cup in Moscow and got a pretty big surprise from 2018 Conn Smythe winner Alex Ovechkin. Tarasenko continued the trend of incorporating former Cup winners into the celebration by inviting friend and fellow Novosibirsk native Dmitry Orlov, the Washington Capitals defenseman who also had his day with the Cup in Siberia in 2018.
