St. Louis Blues star forward Vladimir Tarasenko will undergo surgery on a dislocated shoulder Wednesday, and has an expected recovery timeline of four to six months, general manager Doug Armstrong announced.

Tarasenko suffered the injury in Saturday's must-win game versus the Colorado Avalanche. He left the contest in the first period and head coach Mike Yeo classified the ailment as "significant."

The Blues, of course, lost 5-2, ending their season and handing over the final wild-card seed in the Western Conference to the Avs.

While still highly productive, Tarasenko saw a slight drop in his numbers in 2017-18, registering 66 points in 80 games after topping at least 70 in his three seasons prior.
