Chris Tanev News
Tanev was one of six Flames players that were added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday morning. Calgary's next three games have been postponed as a result of this outbreak.
Tanev is a stable defenseman that can play the tough minutes but offers very little in the way of offence. Tanev struggled when he wasn't paired with Quinn Hughes in 2020 but this addresses a big need after the departure of TJ Brodie. Expect Brodie to be paired with Mark Giordano at the top of the Flames' blueline.
Tanev missed the last 11 games with a leg issue but will play Wednesday vs. the Rangers. Tanev will likely skate on the top pair with Alex Edler. He has 12 points (2G / 10A) in 53 games this season.
Tanev has missed the last five games with a hip issue that he suffered while blocking a shot in Vegas on October 24th. Tanev will likely log huge minutes while Alex Edler is out, which is nothing new for the Canucks blueliner, who was already playing nearly 22 minutes per night this season.
Tanev will miss his fourth straight game with a bruised hip, but the Canucks are hopeful that he will be able to travel on the Canucks upcoming six-game road-trip.
Tanev has missed the last three games with a hip injury and was placed on IR to create a roster spot for the Canucks to recall Brendan Gaunce from Utica (AHL) because Brandon Sutter got hurt on Monday night.
Tanev will miss his third straight game with a hip issue and remains day-to-day. Michael Del Zotto will remain in the Canucks lineup while Tanev is sidelined.
Tanev missed the second-half of the third period on Wednesday and is questionable to play Thursday in Arizona. If Tanev and Alex Edler are both unavailable against the Coyotes, the Canucks will need to call-up a defenseman from Utica (AHL).
Tanev missed the last two games after taking a puck to the mouth in Toronto last Saturday. Tanev has missed a lot of time due to injuries this season but provides a big boost to the Canucks blueline when he’s in. However, he doesn’t boast the best offensive numbers, having scoring just two goals with four assist in 27 games this season.
