BRANDON TANEV NEWS

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.

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.

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.

The 32-year-old winger has had an awful year with 11 points over 48 contests, and he's added 49 shots on net, 36 PIM and 97 hits, representing a decrease in his physical play as well.
