SAN JOSE – As of Monday morning, there was no word whether Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic would be able to play this week in the club’s back-to-back road games in Calgary and Edmonton. According to a source, Vlasic’s injury isn’t a serious one, and he should be considered day-to-day with a lower body injury.
Just like Paul Martin and Justin Braun before him, the Sharks need Vlasic back as soon as possible. After Saturday’s 4-3 loss to the Lightning, San Jose fell to 1-5 when missing one of its regular blueliners on the top two pairs, getting outscored 25-14 in the process.
