Tanev actually played more than anyone in the 3rd period of the gold medal game. Rielly played a ton in the 2nd period which is why he was pushing 26 minutes.
I guess they trusted Tanev more because he played more than anyone in the most important period.
He played 21 seconds more than Rielly in the third.

Not that significant, especially considering the way Rielly was used earlier. Tanev probably just got hemmed in on a shift a little too long.
