The New York Rangers have acquired four-time NHL All-Star Vladimir Tarasenko from the St. Louis Blues, the team announced on Thursday.

In the trade, New York will send a conditional first-round pick in 2023 and a conditional fourth-rounder in 2024 to St. Louis, along with Sammy Blais and Hunter Skinner.

The Rangers will also get defenseman Niko Mikkola in the deal.

The 31-year-old Tarasenko has played his entire 11-year career with the Blues, helping lead the team to a Stanley Cup championship in 2019.

The Russian has 262 career goals, with 10 so far this year in 38 games.
