Nicholls to Miss Rest of Season
San Jose Sharks, the NHL’s worst team, lost center Bernie Nicholls for the remainder of the season because of hernia surgery.
The Sharks placed Nicholls, 35, on injured reserve, retroactive to March 11th, when he played his last game.
He joins defenseman Al Iafrate as Sharks who have undergone season-ending surgery.
Nicholls, signed away from the Chicago Blackhawks as a free agent on July 30th, is San Jose’s third-leading scorer with 12 goals and 33 assists in 65 games.
He has 469 goals and 710 assists in 1,057 career games with the Kings, the New York Rangers, Edmonton, New Jersey, Chicago and San Jose. Nicholls had 19 goals and 41 assists in 59 games with Chicago last season.
