Vlasic (upper-body) was a minus-2 in 20-plus minutes in his return to the Sharks lineup on Sunday.

Vlasic missed five games with an upper-body injury, but returned to the lineup last night vs. the Lightning. It was a shaky return for the 27-year-old, while the Sharks were dropped 5-2. Overall it has been a strong year for Vlasic, who has 17 points (6G / 11A) and a plus-13 rating in 53 games.

Vlasic (upper-body) will not return to the Sharks lineup for game 7.

Vlasic missed game 6 after being elbowed in the head by Kings' forward Jarret Stoll in game 5. He is there best puck moving defenseman, so his loss is a big one, but Matt Irwin filled-in pretty well in game 6. Irwin logged 18:43 of ice-time and was a minus-1, he'll be in again tonight.

Marc-Edouard Vlasic wasn’t made available to the media after taking a puck to the face on Sunday in Detroit. An update is expected on the defenseman on Monday, when the Sharks have an afternoon practice in Columbus.

Doesn't sound good for the wounded d-man. The blue liner has four goals and 19 points in 57 games with a tidy plus-18 rating.

Vlasic, who came down with a cold/flu just before the start of training camp and missed the first three days, said his initil initial full practice went great.

Vlasic should be fine in a few days and paired with Brent Burns. The former QMJHL standout could see his best offensive season while paired with the team's new offensive weapon. Three years ago, Vlasic experienced a career year while paired with Rob Blake, more terrorizing but comparable defender.

Whenever Vlasic gets back, he can expect to be matched with Brent Burns on the blue line. The two did talk last weekend, Vlasic said, but that was before word got out on the pairings.
