Marc-Edouard Vlasic's season is officially over.

The San Jose Sharks have ruled Vlasic out for their final two games after the defenseman missed the previous five with a lower-body injury.

San Jose is out of postseason contention, eliminating the need for Vlasic to rush back before he's fully healthy. The 28-year-old is under contract with the Sharks until 2018 and is among the team's time-on-ice leaders in even-strength and short-handed situations.
