On the San Jose Sharks …
Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area: Forward Logan Couture had a minor surgical procedure over the weekend. He had one of his six screws removed from the fractured fibula he suffered in October of 2015. Couture hasn’t practiced this week, but he’s hoping to be on the ice today.
“It was irritating when I put my skate on,” he said. “It wasn’t anything structural, it was just from having the skate on that area and irritation was building up. Figured we had a little break here and could take it out, and hopefully it feels better.”
