Nieto scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto has scored three of his four goals this year in the last four games. He's clearly benefited from an expanded role on the second line, and his success is at least partially coinciding with Logan Couture's resurgence on offense. Nieto is up to seven points, 35 shots on net, 20 hits and a minus-8 rating in 21 contests, so he's still not a particularly attractive option for wing depth in fantasy.

Nieto scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto tallied at 12:52 of the first period, giving the Sharks a 2-1 lead. The 30-year-old winger has scored in back-to-back games after going seven outings without a point. He's at six points, 31 shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-9 rating through 19 contests overall. While his offense doesn't stand out, he's a solid defensive forward, though his presence on the second line speaks to the Sharks' lack of scoring wingers.

Nieto scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto's tallied tied the game early in the third period, the first of four unanswered goals that lifted the Sharks to the win. The 30-year-old winger snapped a seven-game point drought with the goal. He's up to two tallies, five points, 29 shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-10 rating in 18 contests. He's seen time on the second line lately, but without much offense to show for it, he can be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

Nieto notched an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto was moved up to the second line Thursday, and it paid off quickly when he set up Logan Couture's goal 26 seconds into the game. It's a well-earned promotion for Nieto, who has earned all four of his points this year in the last five games. The 29-year-old California native has a goal, three helpers, 13 shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-1 rating in 10 outings overall.

Nieto scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto tallied on a breakaway in the second period, with an assist from Tomas Hertl. The goal was Nieto's first of the year, and he's added two assists in nine contests. The veteran winger has added 10 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-1 rating while holding down a spot in the bottom six. His experience should keep him in the lineup -- he shouldn't have much of a risk of being scratched unless he enters a deep slump.

Nieto notched an assist and four hits in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto started the year quietly, but he's picked up a pair of assists over his last three games. The 29-year-old winger continues to work in a depth role for the Sharks, limiting his chances to produce offense on a weak team. He has eight shots on net, 10 hits, four blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-2 rating in addition to his two helpers in eight contests this year.

Nieto notched an assist, four shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto has two assists in his last three games, though he hasn't scored in his last six. The 29-year-old winger is up to 17 points, 80 shots on net, 95 hits, a minus-19 rating and 19 PIM through 69 contests. He's seen his recent even-strength playing time alongside Logan Couture and Nick Bonino.

Nieto notched an assist and three hits in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto helped out on a Nick Bonino tally in the second period that got the Sharks within a goal. The assist ended a three-game scoreless skid for Nieto. The 29-year-old winger is up to 16 points, 74 shots on net, 92 hits and a minus-20 rating through 67 appearances, though he's seen a boost in playing time over the last couple of weeks while logging even-strength minutes alongside Logan Couture.

Nieto scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto tied the game at 2-2 with his goal just 1:19 into the second period. The Sharks tried some new forward units Sunday, with Nieto on a line featuring Logan Couture and Nick Bonino. Nieto has a goal and two assists in his last six outings, but he shouldn't be counted on for frequent scoring to finish the season. He's picked up 15 points, 69 shots on net, 88 hits and a minus-21 rating in 63 contests.

Nieto notched an assist, four hits and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Nieto helped out on a Nick Bonino tally in the first period. The assist ended Nieto's six-game point drought, though he also missed five contests with an undisclosed injury in that span. The winger is up to 13 points, 61 shots on net, 83 hits and a minus-20 rating through 58 outings. He'll continue to serve in a mainly defensive role on the third line, which makes it unlikely the 29-year-old puts up much offense.
