Chris Tanev News

Tanev (groin) will return to the Canucks lineup on Tuesday.

Tanev has missed the last seven games with a groin issue, but will replace Ben Hutton in the lineup vs. Anaheim. Tanev has just six points (2G / 4A) in 25 games this season but does a lot for the Canucks blueline while eating up over 20 minutes a night.

Tanev (thumb) will not require surgery; expected to miss 2-3 weeks.

Tanev suffered a thumb injury in Calgary on Wednesday and is expected to miss at least 14 days as a result, but avoided surgery and a much longer timetable. Luckily for the Canucks they got Alex Edler back on the blueline last night.

Tanev continues to battle food poisoning and will be sidelined for the second game in a row when the Canucks take on the Bruins tonight. Head coach Willie Desjardins is hopeful that Granlund will play on Thursday.

Tanev (mumps) is hopeful that he will play on Tuesday.

Tanev missed Saturday’s game vs. the Sharks because of the mumps, but was on the ice for Monday’s practice and is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Red Wings. Tanev is a key member of the Canucks’ blueline, but isn’t an offensive threat—he has just six points (1G / 5A) in 36 games this season.

Tanev (upper-body) will travel on the Canucks’ two-game road trip.

Tanev missed Saturday’s game in Calgary with an upper-body injury that he suffered on Friday. Tanev will travel to Nashville for Tuesday’s game and the Canucks hope he can play after using just five defensemen on Saturday.

Tanev (lower-body) will not play on Thursday.

After missing three games with a lower-body injury, Tanev returned to the lineup last night, only to get hurt again. There has been no indication whether or not Tanev re-injured himself or if he suffered a new lower-body ailment. Either way, his injury means that Nikita Tryamkin will make his season debut.

Tanev (undisclosed) will return to the Canucks lineup on Wednesday.

Tanev has missed the last three games but will return to the lineup on Wednesday in Montreal. Tanev will return to his spot next to Alex Edler on the top pairing as well as see power-play time with the second unit.

Tanev (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.

Tanev has missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he will return to the lineup on Wednesday. Tanev has picked up one assist and four shots on goal while averaging 20:03 TOI in his first six games this season.

Tanev (lower-body) is not expected to play on Tuesday.

Tanev was tangled up with Anze Kopitar on Saturday and absorbed a big hit from Nick Ritchie on Sunday, so he was too banged up to participate in the morning skate and won’t play on Tuesday. With Tanev out, Troy Stretcher was recalled from Utica (AHL) and he is expected to make his NHL debut.
