SAN JOSE – It’s one thing to get hit in the head by a slap shot. It’s another when that slap shot originates off of the stick of Shea Weber.
Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic was struck squarely in the visor by a Weber blast with about 13 minutes to go in the third period of San Jose’s 3-2 win on Sunday night at SAP Center. He remained down on the ice for several moments before finally getting up under his own power and making his way back to the bench.
Vlasic didn’t miss a shift after the scare, and seemed no worse for wear after the game.
