Chris Tanev is slated to play in Vancouver's top four when he returns to the lineup on Saturday afternoon against San Jose. "I am looking for a little bit better stability with the puck," coach Alain Vigneault said. "Our whole defensive group here has been making some plays that have cost us quality scoring chances against that we need to get under control." The hope is that Tanev can help the team's transition game, so he'll get a shot to play with Alexander Edler in Sami Salo's absence due to injury.
