Tanev logged an assist and six hits in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Stars.
Tanev snapped a five-game slump with the helper. The 33-year-old continues to operate on the Jets' fourth line, so his offense is likely to be limited barring injuries to other forwards. He's at 22 points, 95 shots on net, 164 hits, 103 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 76 appearances between the Jets and the Kraken this season.

Rotowire
Tanev scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.
This was Tanev's first goal since he was traded to the Jets by the Kraken. He took some time to settle back in with the team that gave him his NHL debut in 2015-16, but he's picked up three points over his last four outings. He's added a little more oomph to the fourth line since the trade. The heavy-hitting winger has 20 points, 89 shots on net, 137 hits and a minus-9 rating over 67 appearances this season, making this his fourth campaign to reach the 20-point mark.

Jets' Brandon Tanev: Generates assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Tanev notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.
This was Tanev's second helper in the last three games. The 33-year-old winger looks to be settling in on the Jets' fourth line after filling a similar role -- albeit with more ice time -- during his time with the Kraken this season. He's at 19 points, 89 shots on net, 136 hits, 95 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 66 appearances. Tanev can help fantasy managers chasing hits, and he adds a strong number of blocks for a forward, but his offense is likely to remain fairly limited.

Rotowire
Tanev notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Stars.
Tanev picked up his first helper in four contests since the Jets acquired him from the Kraken. The 33-year-old winger has slotted into a fourth-line role, and his ice time per game is down by more than three minutes from what he was seeing with the Kraken. Tanev will likely take the reduced role since it comes with playing for a competitor. For the season, he has 18 points, 87 shots on net, 132 hits, 95 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 64 appearances.

Kraken's Brandon Tanev: Sitting out Thursday
Rotowire
Tanev won't be in the lineup against the Predators on Thursday for roster management, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Although Tanev is bogged down in a seven-game pointless streak, he should still be an intriguing trade piece around the league. The speedy winger plays a physical style and is solid on the penalty kill, attributes that never go out of style. Wherever he lands, the 33-year-old Toronto native figures to slot into a bottom-six role.
Tanev produced an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Red Wings.
Tanev has a point in each of the last two contests after snapping a nine-game slump. The winger set up Chandler Stephenson's game-tying goal late in the third period. The 33-year-old Tanev is at 17 points -- surpassing his 66-game total from 2023-24 -- and he's added 74 shots on net, 111 hits, 86 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 53 appearances in 2024-25.

Tanev snapped a nine-game point drought with his third-period tally that brought the Kraken back within a goal. The 33-year-old winger has struggled to get much offense going from the fourth line this season, though he's doing better than he did in 2023-24. He's at nine goals and 16 points through 52 outings, matching his point total from 66 outings last season. Tanev has added 74 shots on net, 109 hits, 85 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating. His 85 blocks are most among all NHL forwards, nine ahead of Sabres two-way star Alex Tuch.

Kraken's Brandon Tanev: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Tanev scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.
The Kraken scored the last six goals of the contest, with Tanev putting the cherry on top with his empty-netter. This goal was his first since Dec. 8, and he snapped a 10-game point drought in the process. The 33-year-old winger often isn't very productive on offense while playing a bottom-six role. For the season, he's chipped in with eight goals, 15 points, 67 shots on net, 90 hits, 72 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 42 appearances. He's one point shy of matching his total from 2023-24 when he logged 66 games played, and he's on pace to reach the 20-point mark for just the fourth time in his career.

Kraken's Brandon Tanev: Lends helper in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Tanev notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.
Tanev has earned a point in six of the last nine games, collecting two goals and four assists in that span. The 32-year-old winger set up Jared McCann's empty-netter to seal this win. Tanev's strong play has helped him get into a top-six role at even strength, though he's not in the power-play mix. He has 14 points, 52 shots on net, 68 hits, 51 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 31 appearances. Considering he had just 16 points in 66 outings in 2023-24, Tanev looks poised for a bounce-back campaign.
