Injury update on #SeaKraken forward Brandon Tanev.
Howden has since served his two-game suspension but unfortunately, Tanev will miss much more time as a result of this play.
The Kraken look to Tanev as a reliable middle-six forward who can chip in offensively when need be and provide excellent defense. Hopefully, he is able to return on the shorter side but with these injuries, nothing is certain.
Should players be suspended longer if there is a long-term injury on the play?
