Tanev (upper body) isn't in Saturday's projected lineup versus the Devils, per Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

EDGE Analysis

Tanev's upper-body injury resulted in the rugged two-way defenseman missing Thursday's clash with the Predators, with the Flames ultimately losing, 4-1, in that one. Rookie Connor Mackey should see extended rink run in Tanev's absence.
