Logan Couture Out For Season With Groin Injury

March 8, 2024 at 6:07 pm CDT | by Gabriel Foley 11 Comments

San Jose Sharks captain Logan Couture has announced that he won’t play again this season due to a groin injury in a press conference with team media, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Couture didn’t make his season debut until January 20th, missing the season’s first half with a lower-body injury. He played in just six games, and recorded just one assist, before re-aggravating the injury and once again exiting the lineup. Couture didn’t play any games outside of the last two weeks of January. His season now ends before it really got started, marking the first year Couture has missed since making his NHL debut in 2009-10.

The 15-year-pro Couture quickly established himself as a backbone of the Sharks lineup, scoring 32 goals and 56 points in the 2010-11 season, his first full year in the NHL. He scored 31 goals and 65 points in the subsequent season – and has since crossed the 30-goal mark just one additional time, in 2017-18, and crossed the 60-point mark four more times, including when he scored a career-high 70 points in 2018-19.

Couture has served as San Jose’s captain for each of the last five seasons after four seasons as an alternate captain, taking over the role from Joe Pavelski. Couture has seen it all in his 933 career games with the Sharks, going from a fringe playoff contender, to a Stanley Cup hopeful, and then to one of the league’s bottom-dwellers over the course of the 2010’s. He ranks fourth in all-time scoring among Sharks, with 701 career points, and fifth in all-time games played. He is signed through the end of the 2026-27 season, carrying an $8MM cap hit, and will aim to play in his 1,000th NHL game when he returns next season.

    He’s clearly saying “F This dumpster fire!” Can’t blame him at this point.

    Couture & Pickles should be released before next training camp. Neither one has done much in recent memory.
    The Sharks went into the tank when they decided to make the biggest mistake in franchise history, by not resigning captain Joe Paveleski.

    I actually feel bad for the Sharks fanbase, Hasso Plattner is the worst owner in sports, Doug Wilson was allowed to run the team into the ground for years, And now it’s the Inexperienced and clueless Mike Grier. It’s almost as bad as having Gavin Nuisance as your governor.

      Hasso Plattner isn’t even the worst owner in the Bay Area…

      @wilf
      Gee, imagine that, another complaint about Grier from you thrown in with an unrelated comment about something else entirely. Spoken like a true biased orange julius fan. Perhaps you can invest in a pair of those $400 sneakers, the defunct university, the fake charity, or one of the many other grifts you fools buy into?

      While I’m not happy with the current condition of the franchise, the foolish trade of Hertl to of all teams, Vegas, and many past playoff disappontments. The Sharks for a long period of time put a quality competitive team on the ice. I can certainly live with the Sharks losing and the current CA governor a helluva lot easier than I can with some orange sociopath, sore loser, wanna-be dictator trying to destroy democracy as we know it.

      But hey, you keep ranting about Grier and other “enemies” from your little alternate reality.

    Im not a SJ fan or follower but after years or being a Stanley Cup contender a rebuild was bound to come sooner or later. There are very few teams in all sports then can continually keep it going. The dodgers and NYY come to mind ans the only sports teams that have been able to have prospects continually make impacts, sign players and be playoff contenders or favorites even. Even when they do “fall off” its only for 1 season and 2 at the worst times and its been this way sense the 90’s. No hockey team has done it even the lakers and Celtics fell off. What about the NFL im not a true fan but the cowboy havnt been it sense forever there really are very very few tes that can do it

      Depends what the benchmark is. Season record? Playoffs? Championships? Management acumen? The St.Louis Blues used to consistently make the playoffs. The Patriots as much as I hate them, had a dynasty. The Braves seem to consistently win their division. Yankees are like the Canadiens, a lot of their hardware was won over a half century ago, but even they had their bad years. Cowboys epitomize the word flop… Can’t win big games. Much like my Leafs… But the season record is hard to argue.
