Vlasic (upper body) will be sidelined versus Anaheim on Tuesday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Vlasic managed just two points in the final 17 games of the 2024-25 campaign, finishing the year with 12 points in 57 outings. The veteran blueliner is far from a lock to be in the lineup on a nightly basis moving forward, especially given the younger players on the team looking for more opportunities. Even with a full 82-game campaign, Vlasic is unlikely to offer significantly more offensive production than he has in past seasons.
