SAN JOSE -– Logan Couture will accompany the Sharks’ on their upcoming six-game road trip, but will not skate at any point in either a practice or a game, according to coach Pete DeBoer.
San Jose plays the Red Wings in Detroit on Friday, and wraps up the trip nine days later on Nov. 22 in Columbus.
The Sharks center had surgery on Oct. 17 on a fractured right fibula and the club promptly announced that he would miss 4-to-6 weeks, but that timeline now seems optimistic, as Couture will not even be on skates more than five weeks after going under the knife.
