BRANDON TANEV NEWS

Earns helper in loss Tanev notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.

Impact Tanev followed up his four-game point streak from earlier this month with a four-game slump, which ended Wednesday when he helped out on an Eeli Tolvanen tally. Playing in a bottom-six role for a team with streaky offense will lead to peaks and valleys for Tanev's scoring numbers. The winger has five goals, four assists, 40 shots on net, 48 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 23 contests. At his best, he's about a 30-point winger who brings a physical edge, which has some value in deeper fantasy formats.

Two helpers Saturday Tanev notched two assists in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact His shot midway in 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 in the process, a stretch in which he's collected four goals and 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.

Scores again Thursday Tanev scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact 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.

Impact Tanev has emerged on offense with three goals and nine shots over his last two games.

He now has four goals, one assist, 30 shots on net, 35 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 16 appearances this season.

Tallies twice in overtime win Tanev scored two goals on six shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact 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.

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.

Pair of points Wednesday 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.

Impact 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.

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.

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.
