SAN JOSE, Calif. — Sharks forward Logan Couture underwent a procedure to close a bleeding artery in his right thigh after he sustained an injury Wednesday night in Edmonton.
Sharks General Manager Doug Wilson announced Friday that Couture had returned to San Jose and that a small arterial bleed had been discovered in the injured area. Couture was expected to make a full recovery, but there was no timetable for his return.
The Sharks do not expect Couture to be sidelined for long, but it was another blow for Couture. He had just returned for two games after missing nearly two months with a fractured fibula at his right ankle.
