SAN JOSE — With or without Logan Couture, the Sharks know they have to play a certain way if they want to have any sustained success and find a way to rejoin the Western Conference playoff race over the next few weeks.
They played to that identity Thursday, as Kevin Labanc, Joe Thornton and Brent Burns all scored and Aaron Dell made 30 saves in a 3-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets at SAP Center.
Error 0:
Couture is expected to be out for approximately the next six weeks after it was discovered Wednesday that he had a small fracture in the Talus bone in his left ankle.
