The 36-year-old Tanev has just one assist over 10 games this season, his third in Toronto
Tanev missed most of October with an injury and sat out Sunday's loss to the New Jersey Devils due to "load management" reasons.
Currently in the third year of a six-year, $27 million contract, Tanev played only 11 games in 2025-26 due to injury.
The 8-10-2 Maple Leafs sit second last in the Atlantic Division through 20 games and have dropped six of their last seven games. They will close their six-game home stand against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday and Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, currently the second and third ranked teams in the NHL.
Chris Tanev has been moved to the third pair with Dakota Mermis at Leafs practice today.
