Acquired in a trade in early March 2024, Vladimir Tarasenko proved invaluable for Florida by scoring the series-clinching goal against the New York Rangers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final. With a slim one-goal lead midway through the third period, Eetu Luostarinen executed a strong forecheck, forcing a turnover and retrieving the puck. He passed it to Anton Lundell, who found Tarasenko near the far post. Tarasenko then slammed it past the netminder, sealing the victory.
