Sharks’ Logan Couture set to announce end of playing career

SAN JOSE — San Jose Sharks captain Logan Couture will hold a press conference on Tuesday to announce he cannot continue his playing career.

Dealing with an often painful injury called osteitis pubis, Couture, 36, has not played an NHL game this season and has been out of the Sharks’ lineup since Jan. 31, 2024.

After playing just six games and missing the final three-plus months of the 2023-24 season, Couture had hoped to resume skating last summer in an effort to come back this season.
