Sharks' Marc-Edouard Vlasic: Records multi-point night versus Flyers

The veteran defenseman was involved early, earning a secondary assist on Joe Pavelski's first goal, and then the primary helper on Evander Kane's second score. The 31-year-old defenseman is off to a great start this season. Offensively, Vlasic definitely takes a back seat to Brent Burns and Erik Karlsson, but Vlasic is tied with Karlsson with three assists in the first four games of 2017-18.

The 31-year-old is locked in through the 2025-26 campaign and will see his cap hit jump to $7 million next year.
