Minnesota Wild forward **Vladimir Tarasenko** shared his thoughts on playing on a line with two fellow Russian players. In the game against the Washington Capitals, which ended in a 5-0 victory, the Wild’s second line featured Tarasenko alongside **Danila Yurov** and **Yakov Trenin**.

“It’s a rare opportunity to play in the NHL with two other Russians on the same line. Previously, I played with Kirill Kaprizov. We often communicate in our native language, which is enjoyable. I won’t lie — it feels great to score. Even in the last game, our trio had numerous chances, so it’s just a matter of time before we capitalize on them,” Tarasenko was quoted by the team’s press service.

In the match against Washington, Tarasenko scored two goals and provided an assist, while Yurov netted a goal and tallied two assists.
