Tanev (illness) rejoined the lineup Saturday, collecting a hit, two penalty minutes and three blocked shots over 19:18 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev missed the previous three contests due to illness, but appears to have fully recovered from the issue. The bug shouldn't impact his availability any further, but his production (seven points in 42 games) doesn't exactly make him a fantasy juggernaut.

Tanev (illness) said he'll be a game-time decision for Saturday's road contest in Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev's recovering from food poisoning, but after Saturday's practice, the 27-year-old defenseman told reporters that he'd meet with team doctors and added, "if everything goes well, you might see me tonight." If he doesn't suit up, look for the Canucks to continue filling the right defense with Troy Stecher, Nikita Tryamkin and Alex Biega.

Coach Willie Desjardins told reporters Thursday that he's hopeful Tanev (illness) will be available for Saturday's game against Edmonton, which effectively rules the blueliner out of Thursday's meeting with the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev is still trying to overcome a case of food poisoning, and thus will miss a third consecutive game Thursday. The Canucks' blue-line depth will continue to be tested during Tanev's absence, but his availability shouldn't be of much concern to fantasy owners, as his minimal offensive production -- seven points in 41 games this season -- keeps him from being a practical option in most formats.

Tanev (illness) won't play Monday against the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev is still trying to shake a case of food poisoning, so the Canucks will hold him out a second straight game while he recovers. Coach Willie Desjardins said that he's hopeful Tanev will be able to give it a go Thursday against the Stars, so it doesn't appear an extended absence is on the table here.

Tanev will miss Saturday's game against the Penguins due to a bout with food poisoning, Blake Price of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev recently missed a pair of games due to a bout with the mumps and now he is dealing with food poisoning. It's been a rough past few weeks for the veteran defenseman. Reserve him immediately in all deeper fantasy pools allowing daily moves.

Tanev (illness) will return to the lineup for Thursday night's away game against the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev missed the last two games as one of the several Canucks' mumps victims, but he is apparently healthy enough to suit up and possibly return to one of Vancouver's top defensive pairings. All that aside, he's netted just one goal in his last 16 games so his production is likely too limited for the majority of fantasy formats.

Tanev (illness) practiced Thursday and is no longer listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev has missed the Canucks' last two games due to mumps, but his presence on the ice and activation off IR on Thursday suggests he's likely closing in on a return to game action. The blueliner remains without a definite timetable for his return to the lineup, but his status shouldn't be of much concern to fantasy owners anyway, as his minimal offensive production -- six points in 36 games this campaign -- keeps him from being a practical option in most formats.

Tanev (illness) will not play for Tuesday's game against the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

The mumps has been running rampant through the Vancouver dressing room. It's uncertain if he has a regular illness or if he has the mumps and will need to be quarantined. Avoid him for fantasy purposes until he gets the green light to return.

Tanev (illness) is questionable to play Tuesday night against the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Unfortunately, he's one of many Vancouver players said to be showing symptoms of mumps following Friday's outbreak. Given the contagious nature of this infection, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him sit out a second straight game. After all, the Canucks have little to play for at this point with their playoff hopes all but diminished.

Tanev (illness) has been placed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev was unable to practice Friday after showing mumps symptoms. The disease has spread through the Canucks, which is liable to really leave them shorthanded. There isn't a clear recovery time for an illness such as this, so you'll have to keep an eye on the Canucks' situation to see when all these mumps-affected players can return.
