Tanev (shoulder/neck) is set to undergo surgery next week to repair a torn labrum and a separated shoulder, Rick Dhaliwal of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev was able to gut it out in the last two games of the Flames' season, but with their 5-4 overtime loss Thursday versus the Oilers, he can now go under the knife. Given the number and severity of his injuries, it's unclear if he'll be ready to go at the start of next season -- a timeline for his recovery should be announced some time after his surgery is complete.

Tanev notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev was able to pick up his first point of the postseason, an assist on a Mikael Backlund goal in the second period. The 32-year-old Tanev had missed the previous four games with an undisclosed injury that took him out of Game 6 versus the Stars. The blueliner has added 15 blocked shots, eight shots on net and a plus-1 rating in seven playoff contests. The Flames will hope he got through Tuesday's game fine enough to play in a must-win Game 5 on Thursday.

Assuming he's not a late scratch, Tanev will likely play in his usual second-pairing role while providing a boost to the Flames' defense, who will run with seven defensemen. Brett Ritchie is set to be a healthy scratch with Tanev back in action.

Tanev (undisclosed) was injured in Friday's Game 6 versus the Stars, and his status for Sunday's Game 7 is uncertain, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev was limited to 7:47 of ice time. The 32-year-old defenseman has yet to record a point in the playoffs, logging 14 blocked shots, eight shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through six contests. If he can't play Sunday, Michael Stone would likely stay in the lineup, while Brett Ritchie or Ryan Carpenter could draw back in if head coach Darryl Sutter opts to return to a 12-forward lineup.

Tanev notched three assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

He's at 25 points, a plus-34 rating, 147 blocked shots and 82 shots on net through 78 contests.
