Tanev (undisclosed) told reporters he should be ready for Friday's contest with the Ducks, Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev is an important role player on the Canucks blueline, averaging over 21 minutes of ice time per game, including 1:17 with the man advantage. The 26-year-old, however, has not had success getting on the scoresheet, registering just five points in 34 contests. Tanev's pointless game streak currently sits at 22.

Tanev (undisclosed) is not in the lineup Monday against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev had seemed especially doubtful to play in this game after missing practice earlier Monday, and he can now be considered a confirmed scratch. His next chance to return to action will come Friday when the Canucks host Anaheim.

Tanev didn't practice Monday during morning skate and is dealing with an undisclosed injury that held him out Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev's status for Monday's game against the Kings seems in doubt, especially following his absence from Monday's morning skate. Unlike many of his other teammates who missed practice, the blueliner didn't receive an update following the session, likely suggesting he will probably miss the contest. However, he should have a refreshed status at some point prior to the contest.

Tanev (hand) is in the lineup Thursday against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev missed Tuesday's game against the Kings due to a hand injury stemming from a blocked shot in the previous contest, but it appears the issue was minor. He'll pair with Edler for Thursday's contest, bumping Luca Sbisa out of the lineup.

Tanev will miss Tuesday's game against the Kings with a hand injury.

EDGE Analysis

He apparently blocked a shot with his hand Monday against the Ducks. Alex Biega should see some extra ice time Tuesday with Tanev out.

Tanev (undisclosed) is considered questionable for Tuesday's road contest against the Kings, Brad Ziemer of Vancouver Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev reportedly was "banged up" during Monday night's loss to the Ducks, and the Canucks have recalled defenseman Alex Biega, presumably as an insurance option in case Tanev is unfit to play Tuesday night.

Tanev (undisclosed) will play Tuesday against the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev, who has tallied four points (one goal, three assists) in 14 games this season, is expected to skate alongside Alexander Edler on Vancouver's top pairing in Tuesday's contest.

Tanev (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets, Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev missed Sunday's game against New Jersey with an undisclosed injury, and is reportedly in danger of missing a second straight contest Tuesday against Columbus with the same issue. The 25-year-old blueliner's status should be confirmed prior to puck drop Tuesday night.

Tanev will miss Sunday's game against the Devils with an undisclosed issue, and is considered day-to-day.

EDGE Analysis

The team didn't release the issue behind Tanev's absence, but it will cause him to miss Sunday's contest at a minimum. The newly-recalled Alex Biega will draw into the lineup in his place, making Tanev's next chance to return Tuesday against the Blue Jackets.

Tanev scored his first goal of the season on the power play in Saturday's loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

It was a busy night for Tanev, who also fired three shots on goal in a whopping 27:18 of ice time. Tanev's had a slow start to the season offensively, recording just two points in eight games, but he's been solid for Vancouver, sporting a plus-3 rating and logging heavy minutes. He's never surpassed 20 points in his career and is more valuable to Vancouver than to fantasy owners, but he can still produce some offense from the back end. Just don't expect too much.
