Off injured reserve Tanev (concussion) was taken off injured reserve, per the NHL media site, which clears him to play Saturday in Philadelphia.

Tanev has an assist, two hits and eight blocks in seven appearances this season. Philippe Myers is projected to be a healthy scratch Saturday due to Tanev's return.

Likely for Saturday Tanev (concussion) is expected to play Saturday in Philadelphia, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports Friday.

Impact Tanev is no longer in the concussion protocol, but he's still on injured reserve, so he'll need to be activated before the 35-year-old is officially available to return. He has an assist, six shots, two hits and eight blocks in seven appearances while averaging 17:42 of ice time this season. If Tanev does play Saturday, then Philippe Myers might draw out of the lineup to make room for Tanev.

He appeared in each of the Maple Leafs' first seven games of the season, racking up an assist, eight blocked shots, two hits and a plus-3 rating while averaging 17:42 of ice time.

Generates assist Saturday Tanev notched an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Tanev has added four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over two appearances to begin the season. The 35-year-old defensive specialist won't be a huge factor on offense, but he should be among the NHL's leaders in blocks if he can stay healthy. He's logged at least 100 blocks in every season since 2018-19, including 189 last year and 207 the year before. If you need help in blocks or plus-minus rating, Tanev's a viable option for streaming.
