Sharks' Nick Leddy: Practices Tuesday

Leddy (upper body) participated in Tuesday's practice, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Leddy will accompany the Sharks to Seattle ahead of Wednesday's game, but a return to the lineup is unlikely. Mario Ferraro skipped Tuesday's session for maintenance, giving San Jose eight healthy blueliners on the roster. Still, Leddy appears to be nearing a return after missing the last six games.
