Marc-Edouard Vlasic, defenseman for the San Jose Sharks, has officially set the NHL record for most blocked shots, surpassing Mark Giordano. In a recent game against the Buffalo Sabres, despite limited play this season due to injuries, Vlasic demonstrated his defensive prowess by blocking 22 shots. Known for his toughness and dedication, he received a heartfelt standing ovation from teammates and praise from both his coach and goalie. As the Sharks aim for their third consecutive win, Vlasic's commitment to the team remains evident through his willingness to put his body on the line for defensive plays.
"That's a lot of blocked shots. It's pretty cool. I take pride in playing good defensively."
"He knows how to play the position, puts his body in the lanes, blocked big shots his whole career. You guys have seen it," coach Ryan Warsofsky said.
"Just incredible, an incredible achievement. You can see that he's a special player. Very nice player." said goalie Alexandar Georgiev.
"When it's your turn to block, you block it. I'll step in front of any puck I need to to make sure it doesn't get to the goalie."
