• Sharks' Marc-Edouard Vlasic: Traveling with team

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Vlasic (back) could play during the team's six-game road trip after head coach Ryan Warsofsky told reporters Tuesday, "He's close. He practiced obviously yesterday, he'll practice tomorrow and then we'll circle back," per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com. Vlasic won't be an option to face the Capitals on Tuesday but looks close to getting back into action before the Sharks return home and face Utah on Dec. 14. Once the veteran blueliner does get the green light, he figures to replace Jan Rutta in the lineup, though Henry Thrun could also be in danger of being dropped.

  Vlasic (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, according to PuckPedia. Vlasic has resumed skating, but he still needs time to continue progressing from his injury. The 37-year-old is considered week-to-week ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. Vlasic registered 12 points and a minus-27 rating in 57 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

  Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Monday that Vlasic (upper body) has resumed skating on his own and is considered week-to-week, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. Vlasic has been sidelined since the start of training camp due to an upper-body injury, and it appears as though he'll miss the start of the 2024-25 regular season. It's not yet clear whether he'll require an IR stint to begin the year, but it's at least encouraging that he's been skating on his own ahead of Opening Night.

  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.
