Registers assist Tanev produced an assist, three blocked shots and four PIM in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.
Impact Tanev ended a three-game slump when he set up Steven Lorentz's empty-net goal. The helper was Tanev's third point through 14 contests this season as he continues to hold down a defense-first role in the Maple Leafs' top four. He's added 48 blocked shots, six shots on net, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating.

Supplies helper in overtime loss Tanev notched an assist and six blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Impact Tanev earned his first point as a Maple Leaf when he assisted on Morgan Rielly's second-period marker. A lack of offense isn't unusual for Tanev -- he earns his money by being gritty and reliable in his own zone. The 34-year-old blueliner has just three shots on net, three hits and a minus-1 rating, but he's already blocked 34 shots this season, good for first in the NHL and five ahead of Boston's Brandon Carlo.

JULY 3 • TORONTOSUN.COM
Grabs six-year deal Tanev (ankle) signed a six-year, $27 million contract with Toronto on Monday.
Impact Tanev will head home to his native Toronto on a deal that almost certainly will be his last considering he is 34 years of age. The veteran blueliner split last season between the Flames and Stars, making a combined 75 regular-season appearances in which he garnered two goals, 17 assists and 207 blocks. Offensively, Tanev won't offer much to the Leafs or fantasy players but he should be a mainstay in the lineup, playing around 20 minutes per night.

Negotiating rights dealt Tanev's (ankle) negotiating rights were acquired by the Maple Leafs from the Stars on Saturday in exchange for Max Ellis and a 2026 seventh-round pick.
Impact Tanev is set to become an unrestricted free agent Monday, but this will give Toronto an exclusive window to negotiate a contract with him before that date. The 34-year-old defenseman is coming off a four-year, $18 million contract. He had two goals, 19 points, a plus-22 rating, 24 PIM, 45 hits and 207 blocked shots in 75 regular-season outings between Calgary and Dallas while averaging 19:41 of ice time in 2023-24. He was also leaned on heavily during the Stars' 2024 playoff run, averaging 22:17 while recording two assists, a plus-7 rating, six PIM, 30 hits and 73 blocks across 19 contests. The blueliner is recovering from a tendon injury, but he didn't miss any time during the postseason and will likely be fine for the start of the 2024-25 campaign.

Dealing with tendon injury Tanev is recovering from a tendon injury, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Friday.
Impact Tanev had two goals, 19 points, 24 PIM, 45 hits and 207 blocks in 75 regular-season outings between Calgary and Dallas in 2023-24. He also recorded two assists, 30 hits and 73 blocks across 19 playoff contests with the Stars. The 34-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent in July, so depending on the severity of his injury, it might complicate his contract negotiations over the summer.

Chips in with helper Tanev logged an assist, four hits and two PIM in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.
Impact Tanev avoided missing time after suffering an injury in Game 4 versus the Oilers. The defenseman did his job this postseason, picking up two assists to go with 73 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-7 rating over 19 playoff contests. Even at 34 years old, Tanev should have a healthy market as a steady and reliable shutdown defenseman if he makes it to free agency July 1.
