Canucks' Tanev to return Monday after 10-game absence

The Vancouver Canucks will welcome defenseman Chris Tanev back to the lineup Monday following a 10-game absence.

Tanev was considered day-to-day after suffering a suspected concussion in mid-February, but was eventually placed on injured reserve after enduring a setback in his recovery.

He has two goals and 15 points, and leads regular Canucks defensemen in possession.

Vancouver will play host to the Western Conference-leading Anaheim Ducks on Monday night.
