Vlasic left the Sharks' previous game after just 2:24 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and will not travel with the team to Winnipeg for Monday's game. The 36-year-old veteran has a goal, 17 assists, 67 SOG, 16 PIMs and a -14 plus/minus through 78 games this season prior to his injury.
Vlasic has missed the last six games while on the COVID-19 reserve list but should be back in the lineup on Saturday. With Vlasic back, Jaycob Megna was reassigned to the AHL.
Vlasic has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but will play tonight in Minnesota. Vlasic, who has just five points (1G / 4A) in 37 games this season, will return on the third pairing with no PP usage, so leave him on the waiver wire.
Vlasic suffered an upper-body injury early in Saturday's game in Los Angeles and is expected to miss all three games this week. With Vlasic out on Tuesday, look for Christian Jaros to make his Sharks debut.
Vlasic missed Games 3 and 4 but will be back in the Sharks lineup for Game 5. There is no word on who he is expected to play with but there’s a chance he skates on the top pair with Brent Burns. Vlasic, who had one goal and one assist in Game 1, will replace Tim Heed.
Vlasic played just 7:02 TOI in Game 2 before leaving with an undislcosed injury. Tim Heed is expected to replace Vlasic on the blueline and skate next to Justin Braun.
Vlasic took to the ice for Friday’s practice and declared himself “100 percent” which suggests that he will play for the first time since January 2nd when the Sharks host the Coyotes tonight. Vlasic could see more minutes than usual with Erik Karlsson potentially not playing due to a lower-body issue.
Vlasic was originally listed as a game-time decision on Monday before being scratched in warmups and will not be available for the eighth straight game on Tuesday.
Vlasic has missed the last seven games but “is an option” to play Monday in Florida. Vlasic’s return would be key with Erik Karlsson out for a second-straight game.
Vlasic remained off of the ice during Monday’s morning skate and will miss his second straight game with an undisclosed injury. The Sharks did just fine without Vlasic vs. the No.1 team in the NHL over the weekend so expect them to be patient with Vlasic.
Head coach Pete DeBoer said that Vlasic will not play Saturday but did not give a reason why. Tonight’s matchup with the high-powered Lightning will be tough without Vlasic, Justin Braun or Radim Simek.
Vlasic missed Saturday’s game vs. the Ducks, but is expected to play tonight vs. the Lightning. Vlasic will replace Dylan DeMelo in the lineup and enters play with one goal and three assists (four points) in 12 games this season.
Vlasic missed Friday’s practice and will not play with an upper-body injury that he suffered on Wednesday. With Vlasic out, Dylan DeMelo will draw into the lineup and play on a pairing with Tim Heed.
Vlasic suffered an injury after being hit by Predators forward Ryan Johansen during Wednesday’s win. The early prognosis is positive as it looks like Vlasic won’t be out long-term. Monitor his status during Saturday’s morning skate.
