Tanev notched two shorthanded assists, three hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev's five points over nine contests in April matched his previous high mark for a month (January) in the challenging season. The 32-year-old winger was limited to 66 contests and picked up just 16 points with 73 shots on net, 148 hits, 62 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a plus-2 rating. His $3.5 million cap hit could be tough to trade, but it's unclear if Tanev has much of a future with the Kraken entering the final year of his current contract.

Tanev notched an assist, two shots on goal, five hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev helped out on Yanni Gourde's second-period tally. With three points over eight outings in April, Tanev has shown a little life on offense. He's at 14 points, 145 hits, 49 PIM, 72 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 65 appearances in a bottom-six role this season.

Tanev scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev stretched the Kraken's lead to 4-0 in the third period when he buried a feed from Yanni Gourde. With two points over four games in April, Tanev has already matched his production from all of March. The 32-year-old winger is at 13 points, 67 shots on net, 133 hits, 58 blocked shots, 45 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 61 appearances.

Tanev posted an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev snapped a 10-game slump by helping out on a Brian Dumoulin tally in the third period. During his scoring slump, Tanev added 32 hits, 15 shots on goal and nine PIM. The 32-year-old winger has had a poor season with 12 points, 133 hits, 65 shots on net, 57 blocked shots, 45 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 59 appearances in a bottom-six role.

Tanev produced an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and seven PIM in Monday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev snapped his 11-game point drought with a helper on Yanni Gourde's tally in the first period. Later in the game, Tanev also fought Blake Coleman. The 32-year-old Tanev has struggled in 2023-24, picking up 10 points, 45 shots on net, 94 hits, 48 blocked shots and 36 PIM through 45 appearances. Even if the Kraken are sellers ahead of Friday's trade deadline, he figures to remain in a bottom-six role.

Tanev is mired in a 10-game point drought.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev went 0-for-February, logging seven shots on net and 20 hits over nine games for the month. The winger's penalty-killing prowess and tenacious forechecking have kept him in the lineup so far, but the scoring drought makes it a concern he could eventually be scratched. The 32-year-old has struggled with nine points, 45 shots on net, 86 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 43 appearances on the year.

Tanev scored an empty-net goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev helped the Kraken fend of the Blue Jackets' late push by giving them an insurance tally. He's scored twice over the last three games after a stretch in which he was limited to three assists across 12 contests. The winger has played on the fourth line lately, though his defensive responsibilities have kept his ice time at a healthy level. Tanev has five goals, four assists, 36 shots on net, 48 hits, 32 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 33 appearances.

Tanev scored a goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev's tally put the Kraken ahead 4-1 in the second period. The winger snapped a five-game point drought with the goal, but he's rarely showed much consistency on offense this season. He's at eight points, 33 shots on net, 47 hits, 32 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 31 outings. Tanev remains a strong penalty-killer, but with Yanni Gourde (suspension) set to return Friday versus the Blues and Matty Beniers (upper body) also close to being activated from injured reserve, Tanev's spot in the lineup shouldn't be considered safe.

Tanev notched two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev set up goals by Alexander Wennberg and Adam Larsson in this contest. With three helpers over his last two games, Tanev is helping his case to maintain his spot on the second line with the Kraken near full strength at forward. The 32-year-old winger has seven points, 27 shots on net, 39 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 25 appearances this season, so he's likely not an option in most fantasy formats.

Tanev notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev assisted on Jaden Schwartz's second-period marker. The helper snapped a five-game point drought for Tanev, who has been occupying a second-line role in recent contests. The 32-year-old's grip on that spot should be considered tenuous -- he's produced a mere five points through 24 outings this season, and the recently returned Andre Burakovsky is a much more natural fit for the second line if head coach Dave Hakstol shuffles the lineup.
