Calgary Flames defenceman Chris Tanev missed four of his team’s 12 games during the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and we now know why.
According to a report by Vancouver hockey insider Rick Dhaliwal, Tanev played through a torn labrum, a separated shoulder, and a sprained neck in Games 4 and 5 of the Flames’ series against the Edmonton Oilers in the second round.
What a gutsy performance by Chris Tanev who played with a torn laberum, separated shoulder and had a sprained neck.
Surgery next week.
