PITTSBURGH -- Against the fastest team they've faced in the playoffs, the Sharks could be in the need of a boost from one of their fastest players.
Matt Nieto is ready."At this point, if my name is called, I'll step in,'' said the veteran winger, who hasn't played since early May. "I'm feeling 100 percent."Nieto suffered an upper body injury when he slammed into the goal in Game 6 against Nashville. He missed the Western Conference finals and, although healthy, did not play in Game 1 on Monday.For portions of the 3-2 defeat, the Sharks struggled to keep pace with the speed of Pittsburgh's forward lines.
