Martin Havlat (lower body injury) won't play Tuesday in Game 4 versus Los Angeles.
Coach Todd McLellan made the call on Sunday after Havlat didn't practice. He didn't take part in Monday's session either. "If you're hurt and you can't play, you can't play," McLellan said. "We can be as frustrated as we want. It was hard because we had to juggle the lineup, but we talked about the difference between being injured and hurt. He's injured."

Based on the San Jose Sharks' morning skate, it looks like there won't be any lineup changes on Saturday.

Martin Havlat (undisclosed) is still questionable for Game 3 on Saturday.
Havlat skated for about an hour on Friday. "Getting better. We'll see how it goes tomorrow morning," Havlat said. He didn't want to speculate any further about the possibility of him returning soon.

The San Jose Sharks can't wait for Martin Havlat to return to their lineup in the coming season, which starts Saturday.

Clearly, the Sharks will need the five-time 20-goal scorer to be healthy and perform if they plan on having legitimate Stanley Cup aspirations. "Marty is an important player for us," Sharks GM Doug Wilson said. "If you look at our record with him in the lineup, it was very good. We missed him."
