After three and a half seasons with the Colorado Avalanche, the 27-year old forward returns to the Bay Area.

Doug Wilson and his staff have built up a reputation for signing former Sharks, and this time it is Matt Nieto. He has not donned a teal jersey since the 2016-2017 season, where after 16 games that year, the Sharks placed him on waivers.
