FILE - In this Feb. 10, 2019 file photo, St. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko, of Russia, left, celebrates with Ivan Barbashev (49), of Russia, after Tarasenko scored the winning goal in overtime against the Nashville Predators in an NHL hockey game in Nashville, Tenn. More than two decades since Fetisov and the “Russian Five” shattered the myth that NHL teams couldn’t win with players from a nation unpopular in North America, Tarasenko and Barbashev are one victory away from lifting the same Cup after being inspired by the generation of countrymen who endured so much to get there.
