Welp. It’s finally happened: Marc-Edouard Vlasic has been healthy scratched, for the first time in his career, presumably due to performance-related concerns. After some disappointing performances by the defense corps in particular and the ongoing COVID absences, Bob Boughner said he would be switching up the defense. It’s not a surprise that Vlasic was scratched, especially in light of the circumstances — the Sharks have given up at least five goals per game since their return from the extended holiday break.
Ahead of last night’s game against the Detroit Red Wings, Adin Hill was recalled from his brief conditioning stint with the San Jose Barracuda, along with Scott Reedy.
