51 Radim Simek D

Simek (upper body) will be unavailable for the season finale versus Vegas on Wednesday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Simek has been on the shelf for the last nine games and now will be out for a 10th due to his upper-body issue. Considering the defenseman recorded six points in 40 games this season, few fantasy players will have noticed his absence. Still, the Czech native figures to be a solid defensively-minded asset to the Sharks next year, even if he won't offer much in the way of offensive contributions.

Simek (upper body) isn't in the projected lineup for Wednesday's game versus Colorado.

Simek will miss a seventh straight contest, and the Sharks only have three games remaining following Wednesday's matchup with the Avalanche, so he could be in danger of missing the rest of the campaign. Either way, Simek's only notched six points through 40 games this year, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to keep tabs on his status.

In his last five outings, the 28-year-old defender registered one assist, two shots and 15 hits while averaging 15:12 of ice time.
