by from on (#1H31Y)
The knee injury that kept San Jose Sharks forward Tomas Hertl out of Games 3 to 6 of the Stanley Cup Final doesn't appear to be serious.
Hertl spoke to reporters - a day after his team watched the Pittsburgh Penguins capture the Stanley Cup at the SAP Center in San Jose - noting that he won't need surgery on his right knee.
The 22-year-old was injured in the final minutes of Game 2 after taking a hit from Patric Hornqvist.
Hertl managed six goals and 11 points in 20 playoff games before falling to injury.
