Vlasic (lower body) will miss Tuesday night's contest against the host Flames, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The FAN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lower-body injury prevented Pickles from playing last Saturday against the Lightning, so this will be the second game he'll have missed. When healthy, Vlasic's numbers don't jump off the page -- he has three goals and eight assists through 25 contests -- but the blueliner is averaging 2:11 on the power play this season, which is the most time he's logged on the man advantage since 2008-09. San Jose plays again Wednesday night, and we believe the Sharks will reevaluate him ahead of that contest.
