BUFFALO, N.Y. — San Jose Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic has broken the NHL shot-blocking record, surpassing the mark set by Mark Giordano. Vlasic set the record by getting in front of Zach Benson's wrister 2:16 into the first period of San Jose's 6-2 win over Buffalo. He finished with two blocks to increase his career total to 2,166. Giordano blocked 2,164 shots, playing for Calgary, Seattle and Toronto from 2006 through last season. He won the Norris Trophy as the league's top defenseman in 2019. The NHL started tracking blocked shots during the 2005-06 season. Vlasic made his debut with San Jose the following season.
