Good plan by Wilson. Last season, Nabokov played in 77 games which was far too many. The mind-boggling aspect of his high total of games played was the amount of times he played on back-to-back nights and againt poor teams. This time around, the Sharks will be far better off resting their polished netminder for the post-season.
