The Sharks did a lot of good things on Friday, many of them by the Canadian defender.
San Jose authoritatively beat Nashville in the third period on Friday, thanks in no small part to the contributions of the second line. Marc-Edouard Vlasic played a phenomenal game last night, but odds are you didn't notice the veteran defender much. Usually, that's a pretty good sign.
Vlasic posted the best 5v5 corsi differential by a defender last night and played 20 minutes while picking up a secondary assist on Tomas Hertl's game-tying goal.
