Sharks' record with Logan Couture has Stanley Cup feel

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Sharks center Logan Couture was already on the cusp of setting a new personal best for points in one playoff year after just 10 postseason games.

Going into Monday's Game 6 against the Nashville Predators, Couture was tied for the team lead with Brent Burns with 13 points. He had five goals and eight assists and at least one point in eight of 10 games. Couture had a career-best 14 points in 18 games in the 2011 playoffs, when the Sharks advanced to the Western Conference finals.It's all the more impressive considering the chances he's had and has helped to create in the series, where he had 19 shots on goal in the first five games.
