SAN JOSE — Logan Couture wore a look of exasperation on Oct. 27 after the Sharks’ season had reached a new low.
“We’ve got to score some more goals,” Couture said after the Sharks’ 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators. “We’re 12 games in and I can’t be sitting at one goal.”
From that point until earlier this week, Couture — a first-year captain — had been carrying not only the burden of what’s been a disappointing season so far for the Sharks, but also a personal extended goal drought, one of the longest of his NHL career.
