Stars' Chris Tanev's Status Uncertain for Crucial Game 5 Against Oilers

Dallas Stars defenseman Chris Tanev's availability remains a game-time decision after a foot injury in Game 4.

Tanev was injured blocking a shot by Oilers' Evander Kane in Game 4, leaving the game in the second period.
Head coach Pete DeBoer expressed hope but no certainty about Tanev's return for Game 5.
Tanev was seen in a walking boot at the airport, raising concerns about his ability to play.
His defensive role is critical in countering Oilers' top offensive players like Connor McDavid.
The series is tied 2-2, making Tanev's potential absence a significant challenge for the Stars.
