Vlasic logged an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic set up Jeffrey Viel's second-period tally, which got the Sharks on the board after the Avalanche had the first four goals of the game. The 34-year-old Vlasic has picked up an assist in two of the last three contests, though it's unlikely this leads to a sustained run of offense for the veteran defenseman. He's at 12 points, 61 blocked shots, 41 shots on net and a minus-14 rating through 54 appearances.

Vlasic notched an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic helped out on a goal by defense partner Nicolas Meloche in the first period. Vlasic's earned two points in his last four games, but even that's quite a bit of offense for the veteran defenseman. He has 11 points, 59 blocked shots, 40 shots on goal and a minus-16 rating in 52 contests overall.

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.

Vlasic registered an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic has recorded eight helpers through 37 games while experiencing a precipitous decline in playing time this season. The veteran defender is averaging 14:40 of ice time, which is nearly a three-minute drop compared to what he earned in 2020-21. It's tough to rely on Pickles in fantasy, even though he has completed nine seasons of 20-plus points.

Vlasic managed an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic earned the secondary helper on Timo Meier's go-ahead goal at 11:18 of the third period. With four assists in 13 games this year, Vlasic is little more than an occasional contributor on offense from his third-pairing spot. He's added just 10 shots on net, 11 blocked shots, nine hits and a minus-3 rating -- he's unlikely to produce standout numbers in area.

Vlasic produced an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic set up Timo Meier for a goal in the last minute of the first period. The 34-year-old Vlasic was playing in his second game back after missing six contests in the league's COVID-19 protocols. The Quebec native has produced three helpers, seven hits, six blocked shots and six shots on goal through nine contests. At this stage of his career, he'll likely play on the third pairing unless injuries arise to the Sharks' defense corps.

Vlasic (COVID-19) cleared virus-related protocols Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic had been out since Oct. 30 due to COVID-19 protocols but should play Saturday in Colorado. The defenseman has averaged 13:40 of ice time this season and has tallied two assists in seven games.

Vlasic was placed in the league's COVID-19 protocols Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic, along with six other teammates and head coach Bob Boughner, were listed in the virus protocols. Further testing is necessary to determine the next steps for Vlasic, who could be out for a minimum of 10 days if he shows COVID-19 symptoms.

Vlasic posted an assist Friday in a 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic released a heavy shot from the slot that Logan Couture was able to pick up as a rebound for a wraparound goal. Offense was hard to come by for Vlasic last season, as he managed only one goal and five assists through 51 games, and his helper Friday counts as his first point through four games of 2021-22. Pickles will look to carry the positive momentum into Sunday's road clash with the Bruins.

Vlasic (upper body) collected an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Vlasic missed five games with the injury. In his return, he snapped a six-game point drought. The 34-year-old defenseman has six points, 31 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in 38 appearances in 2020-21. He's not likely to draw any interest in fantasy with a limited third-pairing role.
