Tanev was injured early in the first period of Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Boston Bruins, exiting the game after only 0:49 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. He is not expected to play on Friday but is day-to-day and should not miss significant time. The 35-year-old Tanev is averaging 19:48 time-on-ice, recording 17 points (2G / 15A) and 151 blocks in 57 games this season.
