Tanev scored a goal, logged two assists, went plus-3 and blocked two shots in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev's goal was a bit of a gift -- Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse appeared to kick the puck into his own net. The 32-year-old Tanev then made a couple of breakout passes that led to goals for Oliver Kylington and Matthew Tkachuk in the second period. This was the third multi-point effort of the season for Tanev, and he's up to five goals, 24 points, 70 shots on net, 116 blocked shots and a plus-27 rating through 65 games.

Tanev notched an assist and blocked four shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
The assist ended a six-game point drought for Tanev. He's slipped back into a mostly defensive role after a surge of offense early in February. The 32-year-old has matched his career high of 20 points while adding a plus-26 rating, 103 blocked shots, 63 shots on net and 16 PIM in 58 outings this season. With Oliver Kylington (lower body) hurt, Tanev is likely to see playing time with Nikita Zadorov, Michael Stone and Erik Gudbranson in a second-pairing role.

Tanev notched an assist in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev started a play that ended with Elias Lindholm scoring at 15:06 of the first period. The 32-year-old Tanev had his first career four-point game right before the All-Star break, and he carried some momentum into Wednesday's contest. The veteran blueliner will continue to be a solid defensive presence, but he's picked up a solid 15 points, 44 shots on net, 70 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating through 43 contests. He's only reached the 20-point mark twice in his career, but he's poised to set a new personal best this season.

Tanev scored a goal on two shots, dished three assists, went plus-4 and added two hits in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday was Tanev's first four-point game in his career. He assisted on both of Blake Coleman's goals and another tally by Elias Lindholm. Tanev's goal in the second period stood as the game-winner. The 32-year-old defenseman rarely makes much of a splash on offense, as he'd gone four games without a point entering Wednesday. He's up to 14 points, 44 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating in 42 appearances overall.
