The San Jose Sharks are expected to be without top-pairing defender Marc-Edouard Vlasic for the remainder of their six-game homestand, CSN's Kevin Kurz reports.

Sharks coach Pete BeDoer didn't have a firm handle on Vlasic's recovery from a lower-body injury, but didn't appear overly concerned about his postseason status.

"I would term it day to day, but it could be a week, it could be 10 days," he said.

San Jose has conceded one goal in two games with Vlasic shelved, earning all four points.
