SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — San Jose Sharks captain Logan Couture is expected to announce he will end his playing career because of a debilitating injury that has sidelined him for more than 15 months.
The Sharks announced Monday that Couture and general manager Mike Grier will hold a news conference on Tuesday. Daily Faceoff reported that Couture will announce that he will not be able to return from the injury.
The Sharks declined to comment on the nature of the news conference on Tuesday.
The 36-year-old Couture has missed all but six games since the start of the 2023-24 season because of a debilitating condition called osteitis pubis, or inflammation in the joint between the left and right pubic bones.
