CALGARY, Alberta — The Sharks won’t have forward Matt Nieto in the lineup Saturday night when San Jose faces the Calgary Flames.

Coach Todd McLellan said Nieto, who did make the trip, was day-to-day with a lower body injury. Rookie Barclay Goodrow is expected to take Nieto’s spot on the third line with James Sheppard and Tomas Hertl.

Goodrow has two assists in 11 games this season.

After going 22 games without a goal, Nieto had the empty-netter that iced San Jose’ 6-4 win over the Anaheim Ducks a week ago and the last-minute winner in a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night.

Nieto played the entire game in San Jose’s 7-4 victory Thursday night over the Boston Bruins, but in his final shift late in the third period absorbed a hit from Kevan Miller.
