Nieto (undisclosed) will not play in Sunday's Game 1 against the Blues, CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sharks played well in Game 7, so coach Peter DeBoer indicated the team will have the same lineup in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. That grouping does not include Nieto, who exited Game 6 after just 3:53 of ice time due to the undisclosed injury. Tommy Wingels played well in his stead and will again take Nieto's place. The 23-year-old winger will attempt to rejoin the lineup for Game 2 on Tuesday but there's no guarantee that will be the case.
