Tanev logged an assist, blocked four shots and added three hits in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev set up a Milan Lucic tally in the second period. The 32-year-old Tanev has collected three helpers in his last eight games. The defensive blueliner is up to eight points, 46 blocks, 27 shots on net and a plus-5 rating in 29 contests overall, so he'll likely continue to carry more value on the ice than in fantasy.

Tanev was placed in the league's COVID-19 protocols Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev is one of six players that entered the NHL's protocols Monday, forcing the league to postpone the club's next three games. Still, Tanev will likely be sidelined for at least a game or two as a result. The blueliner remains bogged down in a 23-game goal drought, during which he has registered just 23 shots while picking up six assists.

EDGE Analysis
Tanev fed Adam Ruzicka for the latter's first NHL tally 4:31 into the second period. The 31-year-old Tanev is only an occasional contributor on offense -- he has seven points and 26 shots through 26 games this year. He's added 38 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating as a defensive presence on the Flames' stingy blue line.

Tanev recorded an assist in Monday's 2-1 shootout win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev earned the secondary helper on Milan Lucic's second-period tally. The 31-year-old Tanev is up to six points, 21 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 22 games. A steady defenseman who can log heavy minutes, Tanev is more valuable on the ice than in fantasy given his limited scoring output.

Tanev registered an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Tanev didn't record a blocked shot in this contest -- that's the third time in eight games he hasn't stepped in front of a puck. The defensive blueliner has two points, seven shots on net, 13 blocks and a plus-1 rating. He's lately been paired with Oliver Kylington on the second pairing -- Tanev will eat minutes regularly, but he's not much of a scoring threat from the blue line.
