Vlasic logged an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic has two helpers over his last three contests following a six-game dry spell on offense. The veteran defenseman is not a consistent source of points, especially while filling a bottom-four role for the Sharks. He's at 12 points, 59 shots on net, 94 blocked shots and a minus-20 rating through 49 appearances this season.

Vlasic recorded a goal and an assist in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic put San Jose ahead 2-1 in the final minute of the first period, sneaking a sharp-angle wrister past Tristan Jarry, before adding an assist on Klim Kostin's tally in the second. It's the first multi-point game of the year for Vlasic, whose last goal came Jan. 31. The 36-year-old blueliner is up to six goals and 10 points with 78 blocked shots through 40 games this season.

Vlasic recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic picked up his first point in five games, though he missed three contests with an upper-body injury in that span.

Overall, he has five goals, three helpers, 46 shots on net, 68 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 36 appearances.

Vlasic (upper body) is expected to be in the lineup Saturday versus the Stars, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic will be eased in, as the Sharks will dress seven defensemen for Saturday's game. The 36-year-old missed three contests with the injury and should be able to handle a bottom-four role, while Ty Emberson (lower-body laceration) is out on a week-to-week basis.

Vlasic (upper body) won't play Thursday versus the Ducks, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic will miss a third straight game with the injury. The defenseman was a game-time decision Thursday and could be again Saturday versus the Stars.

Vlasic (lower body) could return to the lineup Thursday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic will be a game-time decision. He has missed the last two games. Vlasic has five goals and seven points in 33 games this season. Should Vlasic play, look for Nikita Okhotyuk to be dropped from the lineup.

Vlasic (upper body) won't play Tuesday against New Jersey, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Vlasic will miss a second straight contest Tuesday, the veteran defender is reportedly "doing well," suggesting he probably won't be sidelined long term. Either way, Vlasic has picked up just seven points through 33 contests this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his status.

Vlasic suffered an upper-body injury at practice Friday and will miss Saturday's tilt versus Nashville, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic will be replaced by Kyle Burroughs in the lineup. Vlasic -- who could be on his way out of town by the trade deadline -- has five goals and seven points in 33 games this season.

Vlasic registered an assist, three blocked shots, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic went into the All-Star break on a three-game goal streak. While he's not tickling the twine after the two-week break, he was able to pick up his first helper since Dec. 7 in this contest. The 36-year-old defenseman went from an occasional scratch to a lineup staple in January. He's now at seven points, 43 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 31 appearances. Vlasic is unlikely to score enough to help in fantasy.

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

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic has scored in three straight games for the first time in his career, and he's potted five goals over his last nine contests. January has seen a renaissance of sorts for the 36-year-old blueliner, but it's unlikely to be a long-lasting surge. He's at six points, 40 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 29 appearances this season.
