Tanev feeling good after practice, his final step to clear concussion protocol

Chris Tanev has expressed optimism after returning to practice, marking a significant milestone in his recovery from a concussion. The Calgary Flames defenseman indicated that participating in full team activities is a pivotal final step towards clearing the league’s concussion protocols. Tanev's dedication to regaining full fitness has been evident, and his presence on the ice is a welcomed sight for both his teammates and coaching staff.

The upcoming weeks will be pivotal for him as he aims to rejoin his teammates in full capacity, contributing once again to the team’s push for the playoffs. Fans eagerly await the moment when Tanev can don his jersey and make his comeback, an event that would surely boost the team’s chances moving forward.
