Breaking: Worrisome update for Tanev
KeyStone Press

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Chris Tanev was dealt some bad news today.

There was some mild concern that he might've been traded earlier today after this little nugget came out.

Now we know why. Tanev is widely considered as one of the best defensemen on the team, if not the best. His numbers won't wow anyone, but his solid defensive play makes him a crucial part of that defense core. 

Including tonight's game against the Anaheim Ducks, the Canucks have two other games on this Californian road trip. Tanev will be evaluated at home in Vancouver. The team and fans will hope for good news - but the fact that he's already ruled out for the next week of action isn't a positive sign for the Canucks.

It's unclear as of now how he got injured.

Stay tuned.
