Couture is "close" after undergoing surgery on his hand in early January.

“He was shooting the puck very well. Better than he has been over the last week," said Sharks head coach Todd McLellan. "That just shows progress. His legs and lungs have been maintained very well. I think when he finally gets the go-ahead to really get involved the conditioning will come quick. The timing will take a couple games, but is he on pace to play before the Olympic break? I sure hope so, but I can’t answer that definitively.” Couture will miss his 10th straight game tonight.

Couture will undergo surgery on his hand, he is out 3-4 weeks.

This is a bad break for the Sharks, but it was revealed that Couture had been playing with the injury for a while now. It didn't appear to hurt his play too much as he was riding a five-game point streak (4G / 1A) after Monday. He was not selected to Team Canada.

*****No update on Logan Couture’s injury. He was on the receiving end of three hard hits Sunday night, the last coming at 2:24 of the third period and delivered by Greg Zanon. Couture didn’t skate a shift after that because of a lower body injury, but I’ve got nothing more specific.

No word on how long the Sharks lost their leading scorer. In his sophomore season, the 22-year-old scored 27 goals and 52 points.

That leaves Joe Thornton centering Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture on what probably ends up being the top line, though it’s hard to say at this point which will get the most minutes.

Couture moves up a line to play alongside Thornton and Pavelski. The sophomore scored four goals and seven points over his first 11 games with the Sharks.

There’s probably going to be tighter checking on myself and Clowe as well. Obviously with the big line out there you don’t want to take away your best defenders off them, but teams will have video of me and my tendencies and how I play so I’ll have to find different ways to produce and play well.

Couture scored 32 goals and 56 points over 79 games last season while centering the second line. With Martin Havlat on his wing, look for Couture to add some assists to his repertoire.
