Lends helper in Thursday's win Tanev notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.
Impact Tanev has earned a point in six of the last nine games, collecting two goals and four assists in that span. The 32-year-old winger set up Jared McCann's empty-netter to seal this win. Tanev's strong play has helped him get into a top-six role at even strength, though he's not in the power-play mix. He has 14 points, 52 shots on net, 68 hits, 51 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 31 appearances. Considering he had just 16 points in 66 outings in 2023-24, Tanev looks poised for a bounce-back campaign.

Pots goal Sunday Tanev scored his seventh goal of the season Sunday in a 7-5 win over the Rangers.
Impact Tanev jumpstarted Seattle's comeback effort when he cut New York's lead to 3-2 at 14:06 of the second period. The left-shot winger added two shots, one block and four hits in 13:49 of ice time. Tanev has provided solid depth production for the Kraken recently, as he's found the scoresheet in five of his last seven contests. The 32-year-old is occupying a bottom-six role and a spot on the penalty kill, and through 29 games, Tanev has accumulated seven goals and 13 points.

Garners helper in 500th career game Tanev notched an assist and five hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
Impact Tanev set up Jaden Schwartz on an empty-netter. This was Tanev's 500th career game, and he now has 170 points (80 goals, 90 assists) at the NHL level. The physical winger has earned a point in four of the last five games and is up to 12 points, 47 shots on net, 55 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 27 appearances this season, and his strong play of late has earned him a look in a top-six role.

Ends scoring slump Tanev scored a goal with his lone shot in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes. He also added two hits and three blocked shots.
Impact Tanev found twine for the first time since Nov. 14, when he scored in a 3-1 win over the Blackhawks. The 32-year-old winger has been trending in the right direction after going pointless in four games between Nov. 17 and Nov. 25, and he's now recorded one goal and two assists in his last four appearances. Tanev is up to 11 points across 26 games, and he remains on pace to reaching the 30-point plateau, something he's achieved just once in 10-year career.

Earns helper in loss Tanev notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.
Impact Tanev followed up his four-game point streak from earlier this month with a four-game slump, which ended Wednesday when he helped out on an Eeli Tolvanen tally. Playing in a bottom-six role for a team with streaky offense will lead to peaks and valleys for Tanev's scoring numbers. The winger has five goals, four assists, 40 shots on net, 48 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 23 contests. At his best, he's about a 30-point winger who brings a physical edge, which has some value in deeper fantasy formats.

Two helpers Saturday Tanev notched two assists in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.
Impact His shot midway in the first period deflected in off Yanni Gourde to open the scoring, and Tanev then helped set up Jamie Oleksiak late in the third for the game-winner. Tanev extended his point streak to four games in the process, a stretch in which he's collected four goals and two assists, but that heater comes on the heels of a 10-game stretch in which he failed to get on the scoresheet at all. The 32-year-old winger has never recorded more than 16 goals or 35 points in a season, and he's unlikely to stay productive for much longer.

Scores again Thursday Tanev scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Tanev scored for the fourth time in his last three games. The 32-year-old winger has had bursts of offense in previous seasons, but he rarely sustains them in the long run. He's at five goals, one assist, 32 shots on net, 37 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across 17 outings this season. Tanev could be a candidate to move up in the lineup if Jordan Eberle (lower body) isn't able to suit up Saturday against the Islanders.

Tallies in Tuesday's win Tanev scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Tanev has emerged on offense with three goals and nine shots over his last two games. The 32-year-old winger remains in a fourth-line role, but that's not a spot devoid of scoring chances in an offense as balanced as Seattle's. He now has four goals, one assist, 30 shots on net, 35 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 16 appearances this season.

Tallies twice in overtime win Tanev scored two goals on six shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Tanev got the Kraken on the board with a breakaway goal in the first period and showed a different kind of hustle to bury his second-period tally after Vegas failed to control a faceoff. The 32-year-old had gone 10 games without a point entering Friday, though he had 24 hits, 16 blocked shots and 10 shots on net in that span. Overall, the fourth-line winger has four points, 27 shots on goal, 35 hits and 20 blocks through 15 outings this season.

Puts up goal in win Tanev scored a goal on a game-high six shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Predators.
Impact Tanev doesn't often get that many opportunities to shoot while playing on the fourth line. The winger made the most of his chances, putting the Kraken ahead 3-2 late in the first period of Tuesday's game. He's supplied two points, 11 shots, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating while skating alongside Yanni Gourde and Tye Kartye on the Kraken's checking line.

Pair of points Wednesday Tanev scored a goal, dished an assist, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.
Impact Tanev opened the scoring at 5:52 of the second period, and he set up a Will Borgen tally in the third. The 32-year-old Tanev is not guaranteed to be in the lineup all the time, but he is valued for his penalty killing and defense. The winger is penciled in for a fourth-line role to begin 2024-25, which is a spot he may have to share with Tye Kartye or John Hayden.

Offers two helpers Tanev notched two shorthanded assists, three hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Wild.
Impact Tanev's five points over nine contests in April matched his previous high mark for a month (January) in the challenging season. The 32-year-old winger was limited to 66 contests and picked up just 16 points with 73 shots on net, 148 hits, 62 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a plus-2 rating. His $3.5 million cap hit could be tough to trade, but it's unclear if Tanev has much of a future with the Kraken entering the final year of his current contract.
