Logan Couture Injury Update: Back on the Ice!
VIDEO: Awesome Bout – Logan vs Mike. Watch video below..
“That was the first day of skating pretty good, just doing some conditioning,” Couture said. “It’s cliche, but it’s day-by-day. [If] it reacts well we go a step further. I couldn’t tell you what the plan is for tomorrow yet.”
On October 25, 2009, Couture made his NHL debut for the San Jose Sharks against the Philadelphia Flyers. He scored his first NHL goal on November 5, 2009, against Chris Osgood of the Detroit Red Wings. On April 22, 2010, Couture scored his first two playoff goals against the Colorado Avalanche in Game 5 of the first round of the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs. He scored the game-tying goal in Game 3 in the second round against the Red Wings.
Couture was also an integral part of the success of the 2009–10 American Hockey League (AHL)’s Worcester Sharks, as he played 42 games and scored 20 goals and 33 assists for 53 points. He was a league-leader with nine game-winning goals and was named to the AHL All-Rookie Team. He was also voted onto the AHL All-Star starting line-up for AHL Team Canada, and finished the game with a goal and two assists as well as scoring a shoot-out goal.
The Sharks are currently 11-8-0, but the league’s 17th-ranked offense has certainly missed his contributions. He’s scored 289 points in 382 career games, including 67 points last season.
Exactly when he’ll be able to play again is still up in the air. The good news for San Jose is that he’s trending in the right direction and should provide a major boost once he’s fully cleared.
