Vlasic scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic gave the Sharks a 2-1 lead at 2:57 of the second period with his first tally of the season. Offense in any form has been a rarity for the 34-year-old -- he snapped a nine-game point drought with this goal. For the season, he's at 10 points, 39 shots on net, 54 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating through 49 appearances. Expect the Quebec native to remain in a mostly defensive, bottom-four role, though he may see more ice than usual with the Sharks missing four of their preferred top-six defensemen.
