SAN JOSE, California (AP) San Jose Sharks forward Tomas Hertl will miss his second straight game in the Stanley Cup Final with an unspecified lower-body injury.
Coach Peter DeBoer said Hertl will not be ready to play Game 4 on Monday and remains day to day. The Czech was hurt late in Game 2 in Pittsburgh and missed the following game in San Jose.
The Sharks overcame his absence with a 3-2 overtime win that cut Pittsburgh’s series lead to 2-1. Melker Karlsson of Sweden took Hertl’s place on the top line with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski.
Hertl has six goals and five assists in 20 NHL playoff games this season.
