Tanev (thumb) will play Friday.

Tanev missed the last seven games with a thumb injury, but will return tonight vs. the Wild. There is no official word as to who will come out of the lineup for Tanev. The Canucks could elect to go with seven defensemen like they have many times this season. Tavev has 14 points (5G / 9A) with a plus-8 rating in 54 games this season.

After a scary hit in a game on Sunday against the Toronto Marlies, Canucks’ top defence prospect Chris Tanev has been cleared to play and may return to the Chicago Wolves lineup on Thursday when Abbotsford visits.

Tanev's status is a relief for the team's brass as he is the first call up from Chicago. With Keith Ballard and Aaron Rome already hurt, we could see the youngster back in Vancouver shortly.
