Nieto picked up an assist and an empty-net goal against the Capitals on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year winger's been an active third-line presence for the Sharks in the early going -- while Tuesday's points were his first of the year, he's been noticeable on the offensive end in all three games so far. The former Boston University star has more skill and pedigree than last year's 27 points would seem to imply, and at only 22 years old, he's got nice upside for deeper and keeper formats.
