When Sharks captain Logan Couture crashed into the boards Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues, he knew something was wrong. He just didn't know exactly what happened.
"When I first went in I thought it was my knee, my knee cap," Couture told reporters on Thursday. "Got off the ice, got my skates off and tried to put weight on my ankle and I couldn't. I figured something was wrong -- didn't find out for sure until the MRI yesterday."
That MRI revealed a small fracture in his left ankle. Sharks general manager Doug Wilson announced Thursday morning that Couture is expected to miss approximately six weeks.
