Toffoli has been out of action for the Sharks' previous three contests due to his lower-body issue. In 47 games this season, the 32-year-old Ontario native has already reached the 30-point threshold and needs just three more goals to get to the 20-goal mark for the sixth consecutive season.

San Jose Sharks leading goal scorer Tyler Toffoli, who missed three games with a lower-body injury, will return to the ice for Thursday night's game against the visiting Nashville Predators.
