The Senators will retain 50 percent of his salary and will receive a conditional 2024 fourth-round pick and a 2025 third-rounder in exchange, TSN reported.
The NHL trade deadline is Friday at 3 p.m. ET.
Tarasenko, 32, has 41 points (17 goals, 24 assists) through 57 games this season, his first with Ottawa and his 12th in the NHL. He signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Senators last July.
A four-time All-Star and a 2019 Stanley Cup champion with St. Louis, Tarasenko has 615 points (287 goals, 328 assists) in 732 games with the Blues (2012-23), New York Rangers (2023) and Senators.
Multiple outlets reported last week that Tarasenko was willing to waive his no-trade clause to join a Stanley Cup contender.
The Panthers (43-16-4, 90 points) lead the Eastern Conference by three points over the Boston Bruins entering Wednesday's action. The Senators (25-31-3, 53) are next to last in the East, one point ahead of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
