Mounting Injuries: Canucks’ Tanev out two to three weeks with a groin strain
VANCOUVER — Christopher Tanev has been added to the Vancouver Canucks’ mounting injury list.
Head coach Travis Green said after today’s morning skate that the defenceman will be out two to three weeks with a groin strain.
Tanev limped off in the third period of Wednesday’s 7-1 loss to the Nashville Predators, playing just one 17-second shift the rest of the way.
The 27-year-old shutdown defenceman missed seven games earlier this season after taking a shot off his hand on Nov. 7. He has two goals and four assists in 25 outings in 2017-18, averaging 20:51 minutes of ice time.
