Tanev notched two assists in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.
His shot midway through the first period deflected in off Yanni Gourde to open the scoring, and Tanev then helped set up Jamie Oleksiak late in the third for the game-winner. Tanev extended his point streak to four games (four goals, two assists), but that heater comes on the heels of a 10-game stretch in which he failed to get on the scoresheet at all. The 32-year-old winger has never recorded more than 16 goals or 35 points in a season, and he's unlikely to stay productive for much longer.

Kraken's Brandon Tanev: Scores again Thursday
Rotowire
Tanev scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Tanev scored for the fourth time in his last three games. The 32-year-old winger has had bursts of offense in previous seasons, but he rarely sustains them in the long run. He's at five goals, one assist, 32 shots on net, 37 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across 17 outings this season. Tanev could be a candidate to move up in the lineup if Jordan Eberle (lower body) isn't able to suit up Saturday against the Islanders.

Tanev has emerged on offense with three goals and nine shots over his last two games. The 32-year-old winger remains in a fourth-line role, but that spot isn't devoid of scoring chances in an offense as balanced as Seattle's.

Kraken's Brandon Tanev: Tallies twice in overtime win
Rotowire
Tanev scored two goals on six shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
Tanev got the Kraken on the board with a breakaway goal in the first period and showed a different kind of hustle to bury his second-period tally after Vegas failed to control a faceoff. The 32-year-old had gone 10 games without a point entering Friday, though he had 24 hits, 16 blocked shots and 10 shots on net in that span. Overall, the fourth-line winger has four points, 27 shots on goal, 35 hits and 20 blocks through 15 outings this season.

Kraken's Brandon Tanev: Puts up goal in win
Rotowire
Tanev scored a goal on a game-high six shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Predators.
Tanev doesn't often get that many opportunities to shoot while playing on the fourth line. The winger made the most of his chances, putting the Kraken ahead 3-2 late in the first period of Tuesday's game. He's supplied two points, 11 shots, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating while skating alongside Yanni Gourde and Tye Kartye on the Kraken's checking line.

Kraken's Brandon Tanev: Pair of points Wednesday
Rotowire
Tanev scored a goal, dished an assist, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.
Tanev opened the scoring at 5:52 of the second period, and he set up a Will Borgen tally in the third. The 32-year-old Tanev is not guaranteed to be in the lineup all the time, but he is valued for his penalty killing and defense. The winger is penciled in for a fourth-line role to begin 2024-25, which is a spot he may have to share with Tye Kartye or John Hayden.

Kraken's Brandon Tanev: Offers two helpers
Rotowire
Tanev notched two shorthanded assists, three hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Wild.
Tanev's five points over nine contests in April matched his previous high mark for a month (January) in the challenging season. The 32-year-old winger was limited to 66 contests and picked up just 16 points with 73 shots on net, 148 hits, 62 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a plus-2 rating. His $3.5 million cap hit could be tough to trade, but it's unclear if Tanev has much of a future with the Kraken entering the final year of his current contract.

Kraken's Brandon Tanev: Credited with goal
Rotowire
Tanev scored a goal on four shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
Tanev got a piece of a Pierre-Edouard Bellemare shot in the third period for the Kraken's go-ahead goal. The goal was Tanev's first since Jan. 28 -- he had just one assist over his prior 14 contests. The 32-year-old winger has had an awful year with 11 points over 48 contests, and he's added 49 shots on net, 36 PIM and 97 hits, representing a decrease in his physical play as well. Tanev is likely to remain in a bottom-six role.

Rotowire
Tanev is mired in a 10-game point drought.
Tanev went 0-for-February, logging seven shots on net and 20 hits over nine games for the month. The winger's penalty-killing prowess and tenacious forechecking have kept him in the lineup so far, but the scoring drought makes it a concern he could eventually be scratched. The 32-year-old has struggled with nine points, 45 shots on net, 86 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 43 appearances on the year.

Kraken's Brandon Tanev: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Tanev scored an empty-net goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Tanev helped the Kraken fend off the Blue Jackets' late push by giving Seattle 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Kraken's Brandon Tanev: Good to go Saturday
Rotowire
Tanev (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday versus the Senators, per the NHL media site.
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.

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