Tanev scored a goal on two shots, went plus-2 and had three blocked shots in an 8-2 win over the Kings on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev's first goal of the year kicked off a four-score third period for the Canucks, which made the game a bit more lopsided than the first 40 minutes indicated. It's the blueliner's first point of the year, to go with his eight blocked shots in three games. Tanev produced 12 points in 55 contests last season.

Tanev (ankle) will play in Monday's preseason game versus the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev has struggled with injuries lately, as he hasn't played in more than 55 games in any of the last three seasons. The 29-year-old blueliner will start this season healthy, but he lacks fantasy aptitude as he has never surpassed 20 points in a season. Tanev will likely land on the third pairing this year.

Tanev (ankle) participated in Saturday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev was in a walking boot at the end of the 2018-19 season, but now he's back on the ice and looks ready for the regular season. He'll first look to suit up for Monday's preseason game versus the Flames. The 29-year-old has struggled with injuries often in his career, and he hasn't played more than 55 games in any of the last three seasons. As long as he's healthy, however, Tanev will likely play a defensive-minded role on the blue line.

Tanev will be in a walking boot for another 10 days, and hopes to be fully healthy by May.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev has struggled with injuries his entire career, having never appeared in more than 70 games in a season. He finished 2018-19 with 12 points in 55 contests, his highest point total since 2015-16, when he had 18 tallies. He was asked to go to the World Championship, but given his injury, chances are he won't participate. He'll need the summer to make a full recovery and focus his attention to training camp.

Tanev (ankle) isn't expected to be cleared medically until a few days prior to the beginning of the 2019 IIHF World Championship, which means he won't be available for Saturday's season finale against St. Louis, Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev will finish the campaign having totaled just two goals and 12 points in 55 games. The 29-year-old Canadian is still unsure if he'll represent his country in the IIHF World Championship, but he'll be back to 100 percent well ahead of next season's training camp either way.

Tanev (ankle) will remain out of the lineup versus Nashville on Thursday, Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev has played just twice in the Canucks' last 22 games due to injuries, and at this point, should probably be considered doubtful at best versus St. Louis on Saturday. The blueliner reached the 10-point mark for the sixth consecutive season, but is unlikely to get back to being the 20-point producer he was in 2014-15.

Tanev (ankle) is projected to remain sidelined for Saturday's contest against the Stars, Kevin Woodley of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev has drawn into just two games since Feb. 13 and there is no sign that his status will change anytime soon. With only three games remaining on the schedule, there's a decent chance he's played his last game of the campaign. If that's the case, he finishes with just 12 points -- two goals and 10 assists -- to go along with 122 blocked shots and 29 hits over 55 games.

Tanev (ankle) isn't in the projected lineup for Thursday's matchup with LA, NHL.com's Kevin Woodley reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev is still recovering from the fractured ankle he suffered March 15 against the Devils, and with just five games remaining on the schedule, the Canucks may opt to simply shut him down for the remainder of the campaign. If that ends up being the case, the 29-year-old blueliner will finish the campaign having notched two goals and 12 points while posting a plus-3 rating in 55 appearances.

Tanev (ankle) is listed as an injured scratch for Tuesday's matchup with the Ducks, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev hasn't seen game ice since March 15, so he continues to sit on a modest 12 points through 55 games. He'll hope to get a chance to add to those totals when the Canucks play host to the Kings on Thursday.

Tanev (ankle) will miss Sunday's game against Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev has played just twice since Feb. 13 and will once again sit Sunday, still slowed by an ankle injury. With only 12 points in 55 games, Tanev's absence will go unnoticed in most fantasy circles.
