Kevin Labanc Out Of The Lineup Wednesday
1 year agoSan Jose Sharks forward Kevin Labanc (upper body) will not be in the lineup Wednesday when the club visits the Seattle Kraken. The winger was the victim of a slew foot at the hands of Vancouver Canucks forward Nils Hoglander on Monday and suffered an upper-body injury that will cost him at least one game. His latest injury adds to a frustrating season for a player who appeared to break out with 56 points at age 23 in the 2018-19 season. Labanc has just two assists and a minus-eight rating along with only 18 shots in 13 games on the season. He rebounded somewhat with 15 goals and 33 points on a poor Sharks offense last season but has once again struggled to produce in what should be his prime NHL seasons.
