Chris Tanev Clears Up the Rumors Surrounding his Injuries
Chris Tanev was visibly laboring after he returned to action vs. the Edmonton Oilers. Shortly after their demise, news of his injuries came out & they were extensive. A separated shoulder, torn labrum, & a sprained neck reportedly plagued the defensive stalwart. However, he spoke today & dispelled the report, clarifying the true nature of his injuries. They were still pretty bad:
No sprained neck, which is a relief. Playing with a neck injury, while heroic, is incredibly dangerous, and many believed it to be an reckless move by the team to clear him to play through that. Also, he had a dislocated shoulder rather than a separated shoulder. A small distinction but a distinction nevertheless. His recovery, as mentioned by Salvian, is expected to take 4-6 months.
