SAN JOSE — Logan Couture was injured in the first period of the Sharks’ game Sunday against the Colorado Avalanche at SAP Center.
The Sharks were on a power play midway through the period when a puck struck Couture on the side of his head. Timo Meier was inside the Avalanche blue line when he shot the puck, which changed direction as it deflected off the stick of J.T. Compher before it hit Couture.
Error 0:
Couture went off the ice with 9:20 left in the first period. While the Sharks were still on the power play, Joe Thornton scored his seventh goal of the season and his third in the last five games to give the Sharks a 1-0 lead with 8:44 to go in the first period.
