  • Tanev distributed a helper in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals. Tanev produced the primary assist on John Tavares' 12th marker of 2024-25 to tie the game at 1-1 in the middle frame, but that was the last of Toronto's offense in the contest. While Tanev is known for his defensive prowess, he's contributed one goal and three assists in his past six outings. The right-shot blueliner has helped Toronto become a better defensive unit as well -- Tanev is second in the NHL with 78 blocked shots. He's at one goal, six assists, 10 PIM, 14 shots and a plus-8 rating through 26 games this campaign.
