Chris Tanev played through multiple injuries during the Calgary Flames’ playoff run

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.
