Late in the second period of Monday's game, the Sharks' Luke Kunin and Canucks forward Anthony Beauvillier were battling for the puck in front of Vancouver's bench. When Labanc came in to support, Vancouver's Nils Hoglander checked him, then put his right leg behind Labanc's left leg and pushed him backward, causing the Sharks winger to land awkwardly onto his left shoulder.
Hoglander is assessed a 5 minute major for this slew foot on Labanc. Refs are reviewing. #Canucks 1, #SJSharks 0
Nikolai Knyzhov, a scratch for six of the last seven games, will come into the lineup and join the six other defensemen who played in Monday's 3-1 Sharks loss to the Canucks.
