Maple Leafs' Chris Tanev: Contributes assist in win
Tanev logged an assist, four PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Sabres.
Tanev has actually been steady on offense with three assists over his last six games. The 34-year-old defenseman is not typically a source of offense, but he is reliable for blocked shots, though he has failed to record a block in two of the last three contests. Overall, he has nine points, 15 shots on net, 16 PIM, a plus-10 rating and 90 blocks through 31 appearances.

Maple Leafs' Chris Tanev: Dishes apple in loss
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.

Maple Leafs' Chris Tanev: Rare two-point effort
Tanev had a goal and an assist in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Tanev's last two-point effort came with Calgary on Feb. 27, 2024. His goal in Saturday's win was his first of the season, a wrist shot from the circle that beat Andrei Vasilevskiy to the far post. Tanev has one goal and five assists in 23 games, but he's better known for his ability to block shots. He ranks second in the league with 74 blocks this campaign, making him a value fantasy specialist in deep leagues that count that category.

Tanev produced an assist, three blocked shots and four PIM in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.
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.

Maple Leafs' Chris Tanev: Supplies helper in overtime loss
Tanev notched an assist and six blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
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.

Maple Leafs' Chris Tanev: Grabs six-year deal
Tanev (ankle) signed a six-year, $27 million contract with Toronto on Monday.
Tanev will head home to his native Toronto on a deal that almost certainly will be his last considering he is 34 years old. 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 blocked shots. Offensively, Tanev won't offer much to the Maple Leafs or fantasy managers but he should be a mainstay in the lineup, playing around 20 minutes per night.

Chris Tanev: 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.
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.

Stars' Chris Tanev: Dealing with tendon injury
Tanev (ankle) is recovering from a tendon injury, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Friday.
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. He played in two contests after suffering the injury in Game 4 versus Edmonton, so he should be fine for the start of the 2024-25 campaign. The 34-year-old is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in July.

Stars' Chris Tanev: 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.
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.

Stars' Chris Tanev: Good to go Friday
Tanev (lower body) will play Friday in Game 5 against the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
Tanev was injured after blocking a shot in Game 4 on Wednesday but won't miss any additional time. He's tallied just one assist through 17 appearances this postseason.

Stars' Chris Tanev: Game-time decision Friday
Tanev (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Game 5 versus Edmonton on Friday, though coach Peter DeBoer is optimistic that Tanev (lower body) will play, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
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. Lian Bichsel is poised to make his NHL debut if Tanev is unable to go.

Stars' Chris Tanev: Departs Wednesday's game
Tanev (lower body) did not return to Wednesday's Game 4 after blocking a shot in the second period.
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.

Stars' Chris Tanev: Chips in with helper
Tanev logged an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.
Tanev helped out on Esa Lindell's empty-net goal. The assist snapped an 11-game point drought for Tanev, who continues to be a defensive force with little scoring upside during the postseason. He's posted 35 blocked shots, 12 hits, eight shots on net and a plus-5 rating through nine playoff outings following a 19-point regular season across 75 games for Dallas and Calgary.

Stars' Chris Tanev: Assist streak at three games
Tanev notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.
Tanev had a shot attempt tipped in by Joe Pavelski in the second period, and that goal stood as the game-winner. This is the third straight game with an assist for Tanev, who has remained steady as ever on defense since he was traded from the Flames to the Stars. The blueliner has five points and a plus-7 rating over 16 contests with Dallas, and he's up to 19 points, 52 shots on net, 201 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating through 72 outings this season.

The 34-year-old defenseman is up to 18 points, 52 shots on net, 199 blocks, 39 hits and a plus-21 rating over 71 appearances between the Stars and the Flames this season. Tanev should continue to see heavy defensive usage in a top-four role.

Stars' Chris Tanev: Should be good to go
Tanev (upper body) practiced fully Tuesday and is expected to be available for Wednesday's matchup with Edmonton, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Tanev was evaluated for an injury after exiting Saturday's win over Seattle early, but it appears whatever forced him from that contest wasn't overly serious. The 34-year-old vet has picked up two points through 12 games since joining the Stars in a trade with the Flames.

Stars' Chris Tanev: Being evaluated for injury
Tanev (upper body) wasn't able to complete Saturday's 3-0 win over Seattle, Darren Brown of NHL.com reports.
Adam Larsson was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for elbowing Tanev early in the third period. The 34-year-old Tanev played four shifts following the hit before being forced to leave the game for good. He will be evaluated Sunday to determine his status. Dallas is off until Wednesday against Edmonton, so Tanev has some time to recover.

Stars' Chris Tanev: Posts helper in win
Tanev notched an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes.
