Report: Johansen won't be disciplined for Vlasic hit

Nashville Predators forward Ryan Johansen dodged a bullet Thursday, as The Athletic's Kevin Kurz reports Johansen will not face any supplemental discipline for his high hit on San Jose Sharks rearguard Marc-Edouard Vlasic.

Here is the play in question from Wednesday's game:

Johansen was assessed a two-minute minor on the play. Vlasic was helped off the ice and did not return.

Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer offered an update on Vlasic's status later Thursday:

DeBoer on Vlasic: "I don't believe it's long term, but whether that means he plays Saturday, I don't know." #SJSharks
