VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks say defenceman Chris Tanev will miss the rest of the season with a sprained knee.
Tanev suffered the injury in a 4-1 loss at St. Louis on Friday.
The knee ailment is the latest in a litany of injuries that limited Tanev to 42 games this season, including a fractured leg and a puck to the mouth that cost him several teeth.
It's the second season Tanev has struggled with injuries. Various ailments limited him to 53 games in 2016-17.
Vancouver (27-40-9) entered Tuesday's game against visiting Anaheim in second-last place in the Western Conference with 63 points.
