EDMONTON, Alberta — Logan Couture will miss the Sharks game against the Edmonton Oilers Monday, the result of a head injury suffered against the Vancouver Canucks Friday night.
Head coach Pete DeBoer confirmed Sunday that Couture suffered a concussion when he took a shoulder to the jaw area from Canucks forward Alexander Burmistrov at 5:12 of the third period Friday. DeBoer labeled Couture’s concussion as a “day-to-day” injury.
The Sharks coach said that his team’s leading goal scorer hasn’t attempted any form of physical exercise since he suffered the head injury in Vancouver.
“We’ll see how he feels every day and go through that (concussion) protocol, and see where that takes us,” the Sharks coach said.
