Tanev (ankle) remains unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Senators, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev will miss his third consecutive game due to an ankle injury. His 12 points through 55 contests don't earn him any fantasy league merits, but he does own a plus-3 ratio, while 122 blocked shots could make him a worthwhile option in some. His next chance to return comes Saturday versus the Flames, though no official timeline has surfaced.

Tanev (ankle) will miss Monday's game versus the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev will sit for a second game, hampered by an ankle injury suffered last Friday against the Devils. He'll now hope to get back into the mix Wednesday versus Ottawa.

Tanev (ankle) won't be in action against the Stars on Sunday, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev was injured in Friday's game against the Devils doing what he does best -- blocking shots. Luke Schenn reportedly will sub in for Tanev in the interdivisional affair.

Tanev (ankle) will not return to Friday's game against the Devils, Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev sustained the injury upon taking a Kyle Palmieri shot off his ankle, per Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet. The fearless defenseman was only on the ice for 3:07 in the first period; he tried to tough it out but ultimately left for good after a TV timeout. Expect the team to provide an update on Tanev ahead of Sunday's road game against the Stars.

Tanev (leg) will rejoin the lineup Wednesday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev spent a month on the sidelines due to his leg issue, but his return to the ice Wednesday should provide the team with some added depth along the blue line. Tanev doesn't move the needle much in terms of fantasy, owning just 12 points through 53 games, but he does own a positive rating and blocks enough shots (120 in 53 games) to warrant fantasy ownership in certain formats.

According to coach Travis Green, Tanev (leg) is nearing a return to the lineup, but he won't play Saturday against Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev's impending return will definitely improve Vancouver's defensive prowess, but it will likely go unnoticed in most fantasy circles, as he's only picked up 12 points in 53 contests this season. The 29-year-old's next opportunity to rejoin the lineup will arrive Wednesday against the Rangers.

Tanev (leg) is expected to start skating on his own soon according to coach Travis Green, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 reports.

EDGE Analysis

This isn't hugely encouraging, and doesn't give us a clear timeline, but at least it is somewhat positive. The last we had heard was that Tanev was expected to return "in the next few weeks." If the Canucks are only hoping that Tanev can begin skating on his own soon, he's probably still a little ways away from returning.

Tanev (leg) is hoping to return "in the next few weeks", Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the update is rather vague, it provides at least a little insight into the severity of Tanev's injury. The Ontario native was placed on injured reserve Feb. 14 and has missed two games already. Until Tanev returns, Ben Hutton and Derrick Pouliot figure to maintain their workloads.

Tanev (leg) is listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

The Canucks have yet to release any information regarding the severity of Tanev's leg injury, but he'll be sidelined for at least two games now that he's been placed on IR. Another update on the veteran blueliner's status should be released once a timetable for his recovery is established.

Tanev has been held of the scoresheet for the past five games.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev had a surge before the Christmas break where he had four points in seven contests, but he has since reverted back to the norm. He won't bring much offense, as he has just 10 points in 46 games. His main asset comes in the form of blocks, where he's racked up 101 so far this season.
