Getting to play with a steady veteran like Tanev is 100% helping out here. Tanev did wonders allowing Quinn Hughes to roam around. Kylington is not Hughes, but having a steady partner like Tanev allows him to be able to play to his strengths, and if he does make an error Tanev can help diffuse it better.
As others state OK does have a skillset that compliments Tanev very well. Few guys playing defence can get up and down the ice like Kylington can. Hopefully he continues to grow as the season progresses, the early returns are very promising.
