Brandon Tanev - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Fills empty cage Tanev scored an empty-net goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Tanev helped the Kraken fend of the Blue Jackets' late push by giving them an insurance tally. He's scored twice over the last three games after a stretch in which he was limited to three assists across 12 contests. The winger has played on the fourth line lately, though his defensive responsibilities have kept his ice time at a healthy level. Tanev has five goals, four assists, 36 shots on net, 48 hits, 32 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 33 appearances.

Scores in Wednesday's win Tanev scored a goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Tanev's tally put the Kraken ahead 4-1 in the second period. The winger snapped a five-game point drought with the goal, but he's rarely showed much consistency on offense this season. He's at eight points, 33 shots on net, 47 hits, 32 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 31 outings. Tanev remains a strong penalty-killer, but with Yanni Gourde (suspension) set to return Friday versus the Blues and Matty Beniers (upper body) also close to being activated from injured reserve, Tanev's spot in the lineup shouldn't be considered safe.

Scoops up two helpers Tanev notched two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.

Impact Tanev set up goals by Alexander Wennberg and Adam Larsson in this contest. With three helpers over his last two games, Tanev is helping his case to maintain his spot on the second line with the Kraken near full strength at forward. The 32-year-old winger has seven points, 27 shots on net, 39 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 25 appearances this season, so he's likely not an option in most fantasy formats.

Plucks apple in win Tanev notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact Tanev assisted on Jaden Schwartz's second-period marker. The helper snapped a five-game point drought for Tanev, who has been occupying a second-line role in recent contests. The 32-year-old's grip on that spot should be considered tenuous -- he's produced a mere five points through 24 outings this season, and the recently returned Andre Burakovsky is a much more natural fit for the second line if head coach Dave Hakstol shuffles the lineup.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Opens scoring Wednesday Tanev scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Impact A scramble after a faceoff allowed Tanev to pounce on a loose puck for the opening goal at 5:19 of the second period. The tally was his third of the season and his first since Nov. 22. He had just one assist over the 10 games during his goal drought. For the year, Tanev's at four points, 23 shots, 33 hits, 17 blocked shots, 11 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 18 appearances. As long as Jared McCann (lower body) is out, Tanev should have a clear path to a second-line role at even strength.

Gets first assist of season Tanev provided an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Tanev had gone seven games without a point, which includes two contests he missed with a lower-body injury. The winger's helper on a Tye Kartye goal was Tanev's first assist of the season. The 31-year-old has added two goals, 17 shots on net, 29 hits, 15 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 15 appearances, though injuries have disrupted his campaign. Despite the lack of results on offense, Tanev continues to see middle-six minutes.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Tanev (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday versus the Senators, per the NHL media site.

Impact Tanev missed two games with this lower-body injury. He'll likely take on a bottom-six role now that he's healthy, though the Kraken's injuries on the wing could provide him an opportunity to move into a middle-six role if he plays well in the near term.

DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected back against Leafs Tanev (lower body) is slated to remain sidelined heading into Thursday's clash with Toronto, Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times reports.

Impact Tanev was previously on the shelf for 14 games earlier this season and is now poised to miss his second straight contest due to this current lower-body issue. Considering the Toronto native has managed a mere two points in eight outings this season, few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by his continued absence.

Won't play Tuesday Tanev (lower body) won't play Tuesday against Chicago, Alison Lukan of Root Sports reports.

Impact Tanev is listed as day-to-day after being injured in Friday's 5-1 loss to Vancouver. In eight outings this season, he has supplied two goals, 12 shots on net and 16 hits. Andrew Poturalski will replace Tanev in the lineup.

Exits Friday's contest Tanev (lower body) will not return to Friday's matchup against Vancouver, Alison Lukan of Root Sports reports.

Impact Tanev logged just 3:37 of ice time before leaving Friday's game with an injury. The 31-year-old missed 14 games earlier this season due to a lower-body issue and it's unclear if this is related. He's scored two goals in eight games this year. An update on Tanev's status should be available before Tuesday's game in Chicago.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opens scoring in blowout win Tanev scored a goal on two shots and picked up a fighting major in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Tanev made an early impact, scoring on a breakaway 1:28 into the game. He then fought Kyle Burroughs late in the second period after the two bumped in the neutral zone. Tanev has two goals over seven outings this season, and he's added a physical presence with 16 hits, nine PIM, 12 shots on net and a minus-3 rating. He's currently seeing time on the Kraken's second line at even strength, putting him in position to produce more consistent offense if he can build momentum.

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in return Tanev scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Tanev scored just 6:13 into the game, but that was ultimately all the Kraken got. He was also involved in a goal that was called back for goaltender interference after he bumped Alexandar Georgiev's leg on a shorthanded rush. Tanev has played just two games this season, adding three shots on net, two PIM, two blocked shots and one hit. He should be a fixture in the team's lineup as long as he remains healthy.

Removed from IR Tanev (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Seattle Kraken forward Brandon Tanev to be sidelined for at least a month with lower body injury

The Seattle Kraken will be without Brandon Tanev for at least a month after the forward sustained a lower body injury in last week's season opener against Vegas

OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sidelined 4-6 weeks Tanev (upper body) will be out of action for 4-6 weeks, the club announced Monday.

Impact Tanev will almost certainly be designated for injured reserve in the coming days given his lengthy recovery timeline. It's a huge blow for the 31-year-old winger who played in all 82 games last season in which he recorded 16 goals and 19 assists, both career highs. Tye Kartye has thus far replaced Tanev in the bottom six but is averaging just 8:13 of ice time per game and could be replaced by alternative AHL options.

OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Saturday Tanev (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Blues, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Tanev will miss his second straight game after sustaining an injury Tuesday against Vegas. The 31-year-old winger's status hasn't been officially updated by the Kraken. His next chance to play is Tuesday versus the Avalanche.

OCTOBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined against Preds Tanev (upper body) will be unavailable against Nashville on Thursday, Piper Shaw of RootSports NW reports.

Impact Tanev -- who was injured against the Golden Knights on Opening Night -- should be considered questionable heading into Saturday's clash with the Blues, at least until the team provides a more concrete update. Without Tanev in the lineup, Tye Kartye looks set to make his NHL debut in a fourth-line role.

OCTOBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Injured in season opener Tanev (upper body) left Tuesday's game versus the Golden Knights after receiving a high hit from Brett Howden, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact After the hit, Tanev was down on the ice in the neutral zone while collecting himself, though he was able to skate off with assistance. The Kraken did not provide an update on Tanev's status after the game, and it's unclear if he's in the concussion protocol. If the 31-year-old is out Thursday versus the Predators, Tye Kartye would likely take his place on the fourth line.
