Sharks' Jack Thompson: Ruled out Monday

Thompson (upper body) will be sidelined against Vancouver on Monday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Thompson is currently stuck in a five-game goal drought, during which he has managed just two helpers, three shots and 15 blocks while averaging 16:40 of ice time. With the Sharks' season ending against Edmonton on Wednesday, there is little reason to rush the 23-year-old defenseman back into the lineup.
