The San Jose Sharks are close to locking down a spot in the playoffs, so now the most important thing is to get healthy.
Marc-Edouard Vlasic was on the ice yesterday morning, practicing with the team. That means he’s expected to play tonight, which is great news considering how Vlasic left Saturday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks. Vlasic took a slapshot to the throat partway through the second period and didn’t return. Sharks fans are breathing a sigh of relief that it was not worse.
Puck Drop: 7:30 PDT/10:30 EDT, at SAP Center

Melker Karlsson was also injured in the Saturday’s game, but was also skating with the team yesterday.
