#VegasBorn's Brett Howden is given a match penalty for illegal check to the head of #SeaKraken's Brandon Tanev
While the suspension was for a check to the head, Tanev took an awkward fall after the hit resulting in a lower-body injury.
Today, the Kraken announced the status of Tanev.
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.
