No Tomas Hertl.
The forward won't be in the San Jose Sharks' Game 5 lineup Thursday, head coach Peter DeBoer announced. Hertl remains day to day.
The forward's status has been the topic of much conversation after the Sharks refuted a report out of the Czech Republic that the 22-year-old is done for the Stanley Cup Final with a lower-body injury.
Hertl has a goal in two games. But if the Sharks prolong the series, they'll do so without him.
