MATT NIETO NEWS

Suffers setback Nieto (lower body) has suffered a setback in his recovery, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Coach Bob Boughner was hoping Nieto would be ready to return sometime next week, but that seems to be out of the question following the forward's setback. Check back for another update on Nieto whenever he's given the green light to return to practice.

Likely to miss another week Head coach Bob Boughner said Monday that Nieto (lower body) is expected to miss the rest of the week, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Boughner was openly pessimistic about Nieto's recovery, so his return likely won't be for a while. The 28-year-old posted seven points over 28 games before this injury. He'll remain on injured reserve until he gains medical clearance.

Impact Nieto has already missed five games with the injury -- if this was a retroactive designation, he's eligible to return at any time. The 28-year-old has mostly played in a middle-six role for the Sharks this year, with seven points in 28 contests.

Still sidelined Nieto (lower body) won't play Friday against Arizona, but he could be an option for Saturday's rematch with the Coyotes, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Nieto will miss a fourth straight game Friday, but he's clearly nearing a return to action. Another update on the 28-year-old forward should surface prior to puck drop Saturday night.
