Tanev (ankle) will not be returning to the team during the upcoming four-game road trip that wraps up Dec. 13 against the Hurricanes, according to coach Willie Desjardins.

EDGE Analysis

We're thinking that no one misses Tanev, an accomplished shot blocker, more than the goalies in Vancouver. With Ryan Miller and Jacob Markstrom splitting time between the pipes fairly evenly, the Canucks are allowing 2.96 goals per contest; only six teams have been performing at a worse rate.
