If the San Jose Sharks force Game 7, they'll do it without Tomas Hertl.
The forward will not appear in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer told reporters Sunday afternoon.
Hertl has missed four straight games with what the team is calling a lower-body injury.
DeBoer declined to specify whether Hertl has been skating, according to NHL.com's Tom Gulitti.
The 22-year-old center had six goals and 11 points in 20 playoff games before the injury.
