Marc-Edouard Vlasic Injury: Not playing Thursday

Vlasic (upper body) will not suit up Thursday versus the Maple Leafs, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Vlasic is set to miss his third straight game. The Sharks won't rush the 37-year-old back since they have nothing to play for to close out the season. His absence allows Luca Cagnoni to stay in the lineup.
