SAN JOSE — Injured centerman Logan Couture will miss the San Jose Sharks’ season-opening game this week against the Vegas Golden Knights and there remains no timeline for him to be able to return, coach David Quinn said Tuesday.
Couture took Tuesday off as he continues to recover from an undisclosed lower-body injury that occurred well before Sharks training camp began on Sept. 21. He has been showing signs of improvement in recent days, notably doing some light skating away from the team, but Quinn said the Sharks captain remains week-to-week.
“It’s going to be some time, but we’re optimistic,” Quinn said. “We feel good about him moving forward.” Couture said at the start of training camp three weeks ago that he desperately wanted to play in Thursday’s opener against the defending Stanley Cup champion Golden Knights at SAP Center. “He was excited and he’s frustrated because he’s not out there just yet,” Quinn said. “But he understands it’s gonna take a little bit of time.
