SAN JOSE — Sharks coach Todd McLellan didn’t say if Adam Burish will play in Game 6 against the Los Angeles Kings, but the injured winger took a regular spot on the fourth line in Saturday’s practice at the team’s facility.

Burish, who has not played in the Western Conference semifinals since he injured his right hand May 7 in the final game of the opening round sweep of Vancouver, skated with Bracken Kearns and Andrew Desjardins for most of Saturday’s practice.

“I feel ready,— Burish said Saturday. “It’s Todd’s call, but I feel pretty darn good.”

Burish initially was declared out for the series after he took a slash to the hand from Vancouver’s Alexander Edler in Game 4. But earlier this week he said his goal was to play against the Kings.

Signed in the offseason to a four-year contract, Burish was one of the Sharks’best penalty killers in the regular season and added experience to the fourth line. He was on the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup championship team in 2010.

“If he does play, we want to see Adam Burish, his game,—McLellan said. “He’s a feisty player, he’s a very good right handed faceoff guy, he kills penalties and adds a physical element to our game. He has a past that he can reference in this situation.”

McLellan does not want a repeat of what happened earlier in this series when forward Marty Havlat, who was injured in the opening game of the first round against Vancouver, said he was available to play in Game 3 but left with an injury late in the first period. The Sharks were also without Logan Couture for a good portion of the second period in that game, leaving them with 10 forwards for a stretch of time.

“If (Burish) can play and finish the night and contribute to the team, we’d love to have him back,”McLellan said. “I would say he’s awfully close to that.—

Burish has five points in 36 career playoff games. He had just three points in 46 regular season games, but we third amongst the team’s forwards in blocked shots (33) and fourth on the team in hits (65).

“I’m not coming to save the day. This team’s done a great job,— Burish said. —We’re in a good spot right now, we’re just fine where we are. I’m just looking to contribute. Bring some energy, some attitude. Add to what we already have.”
