One final post on Tanev before I stop derailing this thread:
Vs. McDavid:
Tanev: 88:42 TOI, we outscored the Oilers 5-2 and out-possessed them confortably (62% xGF)
Tanev on the bench: 78:01 TOI, we got outscored 10-4 and out-possessed heavily (41% xGF)
For comparison,
Giordano: 65:42 TOI, we got outscored 4-3 and out-possessed heavily (41% xGF).
So yeah, Tanev played more against McDavid than any other D-man on the team and dominated that matchup.
