Surfaces on IR Tanev (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, according to the NHL media site.

Impact After suffering an upper-body injury, Tanev left Saturday's 6-3 win over Colorado. He will miss at least the next three games, starting with Tuesday's matchup against Utah, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return. The Maple Leafs recalled Marshall Rifai from AHL Toronto on Sunday in a corresponding move.

Sustains upper-body injury Tanev (upper body) won't finish Saturday's game versus the Avalanche.

Impact Tanev was injured in the first period and won't be able to continue. The 36-year-old defenseman's exit leaves Toronto with six healthy defensemen on the roster. He'll be day-to-day for now until the Maple Leafs provide additional information.

Cleared ahead of camp Tanev (abdomen) has been given the all-clear in the lead-up to the preseason, Mark Masters of TSN reports Wednesday.

Impact It was a rough 2025-26 campaign for Tanev, who only managed to get onto the ice for 11 regular-season contests, picking up just two points along the way. Known more for his physicality, the 36-year-old defenseman has reached the 20-point mark three times in his career.

Aims to be ready for camp Tanev (abdomen) is hopeful that he will be ready for the start of training camp, per Dave Feschuk of the Toronto Star on Friday.

Impact Tanev appeared in only 11 games during the 2025-26 regular season due to spinal, groin and core muscle injuries. "I mean, I'm feeling good. We still have to talk to the doctors, I think, in a week or two," said the 36-year-old blueliner. "But the plan is, hopefully, I'm ready to rumble once everything gets going." Assuming he is good to go for Opening Night on Sept. 29 against Montreal, Tanev will likely occupy a top-four role and see time on the penalty kill. His defense-first style doesn't make him an attractive fantasy option, but he can rack up blocked shots.
