SAN JOSE – Matt Nieto will miss one more game, while Marc-Edouard Vlasic is questionable for the Sharks’ regular season finale on Saturday against the Coyotes.
Both players were hurt on March 17 in Arizona and have missed the past 11 games, but both were on the ice on Friday for a rare full team practice at Sharks Ice.
Neither Vlasic nor coach Pete DeBoer ruled out the defenseman for the game, although with the Sharks locked in to the third seed in the Pacific Division, it may make sense to allow him another few days to heal.
