Vancouver Canucks defenceman Chris Tanev left Friday’s game against the Calgary Flames and will not return after suffering an upper-body injury.
The 27-year-old blocked a Dougie Hamilton shot and left the ice with around seven minutes remaining in the first period.
Tanev has developed into one of the league’s best shot-suppressing defencemen since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in the 2010-11 season.
He has four assists this season.
