Dallas Stars defenseman Chris Tanev is active for Game 5 of the Western Conference Final after taking a shot off his right foot in the previous gameMAY 31 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Game-time decision Friday While coach Peter DeBoer is optimistic that Tanev (lower body) will play versus Edmonton on Friday, Tanev will be a game-time decision, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
Impact Tanev was injured blocking a shot Wednesday in the second period and was unable to return. Tanev is a stud defensively and if he is unable to go, the Stars will need to fill a big hole on the blue line. Look for Nils Lundkvist to play if Tanev is unable to go.

Stars lose 'ultimate warrior' Tanev to injury in Game 4 loss | NHL.com Defenseman leaves in 2nd period after blocking shot with right foot
MAY 30 • NHL.COM
Departs Wednesday's game Tanev (lower body) did not return to Wednesday's Game 4 after blocking a shot in the second period.
Impact The Stars initially labeled Tanev as questionable to return, but his inability to get back on the ice in this contest is not a positive sign. The 34-year-old defenseman is a key part of the Stars' defensive structure, so a potential absence for Friday's Game 5 or beyond could spell trouble for the team. If Tanev is unable to play, Nils Lundkvist is the most likely player to draw into the lineup, though he has seen very sheltered minutes when he's played during the postseason.
