  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Not practicing

    Couture (groin) will not be available for the start of training camp Thursday.

    The 35-year-old missed most of last season, picking up one assist in just six games. Couture had 27 goals and 67 points in 82 regular-season appearances during the 2022-23 campaign and is expected to be counted upon to be a veteran presence as the Sharks look towards their young prospects like Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith and William Eklund to lead them offensively in the coming years.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Not skating yet

    Couture (groin) is working out but has not started skating yet, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Friday.

    Per general manager Mike Grier, things remain according to Couture's recovery plan. It's not a particularly encouraging development to hear Couture isn't skating with just a month before training camp. As such, it wouldn't be surprising if he missed part of the preseason schedule at a minimum. The 35-year-old was limited to just six games last season, so it'll likely take him some time to get back up to speed once he hits the ice again.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Progressing in recovery

    Couture (groin) is continuing to work toward being fully fit for the 2024-25 campaign, with coach Ryan Warsofsky telling reporters Tuesday, "He's working extremely hard. He's in San Jose. He's been in San Jose. He's training. He's working out. I know he's feeling good, and I know when Logan is feeling good, we will let him play. We have a really good plan as an organization for Logan to get him back healthy," per Max Miller of The Hockey News.

    Couture was limited to a mere six games last season due to his groin problem but appears to be trending in the right direction. What to expect out of the veteran center will be tricky after essentially losing a full season, but he did reach both the 20-goal and 55-point thresholds in each of the prior two campaigns. Assuming he is ready for Opening Night, Couture could shift to the wing in order to allow rookie Macklin Celebrini to feature at center on the top line.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Feeling better

    Couture (groin) is feeling better and hopes to resume skating in July, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    Couture was limited to just six appearances in 2023-24, supplying one assist and seven shots on goal. He is optimistic that he will be ready for training camp in the fall. Couture racked up 27 goals and 67 points in 82 contests during the 2022-23 campaign.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Won't return this season

    Couture (groin) will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, Sheng Peng of SanJoseHockeyNow.com reports.

    Between multiple lower-body injuries, Couture was held to just one assist in six games this season. There's no real reason to rush the 34-year-old back into action considering where the Sharks sit in the standings. He scored 27 goals and 67 points in 82 games during the 2022-23 season. Couture should be back to full health in time for training camp next season.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Lands on IR

    Couture (groin) was put on injured reserve Monday.

    In a corresponding move, Henry Thrun (shoulder) was activated from the IR list. Couture, who is considered week-to-week, hasn't resumed skating yet. He has one assist and seven shots on goal in six appearances this season.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Considered week-to-week

    Couture is considered week-to-week with the same groin issue that caused him to miss the first 45 games of the campaign, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    With the Sharks in last place in the Pacific Division and Couture once again struggling with the groin issue that forced him to miss the first half of the season, San Jose may start to consider shutting the veteran pivot down for the year if his condition doesn't start to improve soon. Couture's been limited to just one assist through six contests this campaign.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Misses another practice

    Couture (groin) has missed the last two practices, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    Couture still has some time before the Sharks take on Winnipeg on Wednesday, but he's considered day-to-day for now. The 34-year-old didn't make his season debut until Jan. 20 after missing the first 45 games of the year with a lower-body issue. The team should have more information on his status before Wednesday's contest.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Assist in season debut

    Couture picked up an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over Anaheim.

    After missing the first 45 games of the season with a lower-body injury, Couture assisted on Marc-Edouard Vlasic's second-period tally in his return to the lineup Saturday. The 34-year-old center had 27 goals and 40 assists with San Jose last year. Couture's reintroduction to the Sharks' top six should give a boost to an offense that's struggled for much of the season.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Return slated for Saturday

    Couture (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve and make his season debut Saturday against the Ducks, coach David Quinn told Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now on Friday.

    Couture scored 27 goals and 67 points in 82 contests last season. While rust might be a factor after missing the first 45 games of the 2023-24 campaign, Couture isn't projected to be eased into the lineup. Instead, he's likely to play on the first line alongside Alexander Barabanov and Fabian Zetterlund based on Friday's practice, per Max Miller of The Hockey News. Couture is also expected to serve on the top power-play unit. His return might result in Kevin Labanc being a healthy scratch against Anaheim.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Hoping to debut Saturday

    Couture (lower body) is hopeful he'll be ready to make his season debut Saturday against Anaheim, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    Couture has yet to play this season due to a lower-body issue, but it appears he may finally return to game action versus the Ducks. If he's able to play, look for Couture, who racked up 27 goals and 67 points through 82 contests last season, to step into a top-six role and a spot on one of San Jose's power-play units against Anaheim.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Not ready to return

    Couture (lower body) was ruled out for the remainder of San Jose's road trip Monday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    As a result, Couture won't play Monday against Buffalo or Tuesday versus Chicago. He isn't quite ready to make his season debut yet, but he appears to be getting close. Couture racked up 27 goals and 67 points over 82 games during the 2022-23 campaign.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Could play during road trip

    Couture (lower body) may be available during the Sharks' upcoming road trip, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    Couture has missed the whole season to date. The 34-year-old's arduous recovery process has left an already thin Sharks team struggling. The five-game road trip begins Tuesday in Toronto.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Won't play Sunday

    Couture (lower body) will miss Sunday's game against the Avalanche, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

    Couture hasn't played yet in 2023-24, but coach David Quinn told Max Miller of The Hockey News on Thursday that there's "a level of optimism that we haven't had before," so it does sound like the 34-year-old pivot is making progress in his recovery. Couture is likely to serve in a top-six capacity and feature on the first power-play unit once he's recovered from his injury.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Still out Thursday

    Couture (lower body) will remain unavailable against the Oilers on Thursday. Coach David Quinn told reporters, "This light at the end of the tunnel. There's a level of optimism that we haven't had before," Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

    Couture has already been out of action for 35 games to start the season but could be back sooner rather than later. While the Sharks could ease the veteran back into the lineup to an extent, he likely will slot into a top-six role in addition to joining the No. 1 power-play unit upon his return. As such, Couture should have plenty of value in fantasy leagues down the stretch

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Absent from trip

    Couture (lower body) will miss the Sharks' upcoming two-game road trip, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Friday.

    Couture will have to wait a little longer before getting the all-clear to make his 2023-24 season debut. The veteran center has been skating with the team and could be an option sooner rather than later once cleared for full contact. With Nico Sturm (abdomen) and Ryan Carpenter (undisclosed) also sidelined, the Sharks' find themselves shorthanded.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Skates again Wednesday

    Couture (lower body) skated for the second straight day Wednesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Couture remains without a clear recovery timeline but is at least making some strides. Whenever the veteran center is given the green light, he should immediately retake a spot in the top six as well as link up with the No. 1 power-play unit. With Couture yet to get onto the ice, he undoubtedly won't be putting up 67 points again this season but he might still be able to reach the 40-point threshold.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Remains off ice

    Couture (lower body) hasn't resumed skating yet, coach David Quinn told Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now on Wednesday.

    Couture hasn't been on the ice since suffering a setback in late October. There's no timetable for his return, but based on Quinn's latest update, it sounds like the 34-year-old forward is still a ways away from being ready. Couture had 27 goals and 67 points in 82 outings last year.

  • Sharks' Logan Couture: Still not skating

    Couture (lower body) is not skating and has no timeline to return, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

    Couture suffered a setback in late October, and he's yet to make any noticeable progress since. The 34-year-old's absence will likely continue until he can get into a few practices. Couture picked up 27 goals and 67 points through 82 contests last campaign.
