San Joe Sharks coach Pete DeBoer did not rule out forward Tomas Hertl for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday at Consol Energy Center. The top-line winger suffered a lower-body injury in Game 2 and has not played since. "Improvement every day that I've seen him. Hopeful, yes. I term him as day-to-day," DeBoer said. "This time of year, guys find an inner strength and play with injuries. I mean, that's just what these guys do at this level. I'm not ruling him out for any games." Hertl has six goals and five assists for 11 points this postseason.
