Brandon Tanev Out For Penguins On Wednesday
4 years agoPittsburgh Penguins forward Brandon Tanev will be sidelined with an upper-body injury as his team takes on the visiting Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday. The 29-year-old is set to miss his third consecutive game due to the ailment and the Penguins placed him on injured reserve retroactive to March 18th on Wednesday afternoon. Tanev has evolved into a valuable asset in fantasy leagues that reward physicality as he's posted 15 points (seven goals, eight assists), a plus 11-rating, 22 penalty minutes and 133 hits through 30 contests. The Toronto native will next get a chance to get back into the lineup in the second night of a back-to-back versus the Sabres on Thursday.
