Sharks Shutter Vlasic For Season

Vlasic (lower body) will not play in the Sharks' final two games of the regular season, David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News reports.Vlasic was still walking with a limp due to the injury as of Monday, and with the Sharks already eliminated from playoff contention, there's not much sense in the blueliner risking further injury heading into the offseason. Though he's finish the season with 11 fewer games played than a year earlier, he'll finish with only one fewer point (23) and four more goals (nine).
