Friend of the Blog Kevin Kurz delivered some good news on the injury front today as both Matt Nieto and Marc-Edouard Vlasic will play on Thursday night against the Kings. Vlasic's status comes as less of a surprise than Nieto's, though it's undoubtedly good news to get both players back in the fold.
As for how that affects the Sharks lines, Kurz tweeted this from this morning's practice.
Looks like Nieto on third line with Marleau and Melker. Tierney, Spaling and Wingels on fourth line.
