His third-period tally proved to be the game-winner, snapping a 10-game goalless drought for the 24-year-old.

EDGE Analysis

Labanc's injury originally was thought to be serious enough that it would prevent him from facing the Blues on Saturday, but the 24-year-old appears ready to gut it out against the defending champs. He'll likely skate on San Jose's second line and will be looking for his 20th point of the season. The talented winger has scored just once in his last 14 contests.

EDGE Analysis

Labanc was injured in the second period and briefly returned, but he didn't play in the third. It's unclear how long Labanc will be out of action.

Labanc has points in four of his last five games (one goal, three helpers). The 24-year-old has amassed 19 points, 82 shots on goal and a minus-18 rating in 34 games this season. The scoring numbers are solid, but he's shown to be a defensive liability, which could see him move down the lineup under interim head coach Bob Boughner.

Labanc's power-play goal was all the Sharks could muster in a 5-1 loss to Florida on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis
