With consecutive off days for the first time since downing the Kings in the first round, the Sharks had a rare full practice today. Or, most of them did, anyway. Matt Nieto was not among the skaters participating in San Jose's practice. He did not skate after the first period in game six.
The top two lines have been consistent over the past two games, but the bottom six gets shuffled around a bit. Melker Karlsson, Chris Tierney and Joel Ward make up the third line here with Dainius Zubrus, Nick Spaling and Tommy Wingels on the fourth.
