In the third period of last night’s match up against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Logan Couture ate puck, thanks to the usual suspect in these types of situations, Brent Burns. The scene was depressingly familiar.
Last night’s incident felt slightly less dramatic. I mean, jesus, in that Nashville game, you see Ryan Ellis put his hand on Couture’s shoulder to see if he’s okay and Logan waves him off to immediately skate to the dressing room. Last night, he skated to the bench doubled over and, according to Alison Lukan of The Athletic, slammed his stick against the boards on his way to the dressing room.
