"Sharks' Captain Couture Discloses Season-Long Injury"
San Jose Sharks captain Logan Couture revealed that he has been sidelined for the first 45 games of the 2023-24 NHL season due to Osteitis pubis, a significant groin, abdomen, and hip issue. The injury, which causes pain and swelling in the groin or lower abdomen, appeared during captain’s skates in the summer. Couture's return to action is set for Saturday against the Anaheim Ducks after a long road to recovery, including setbacks that kept him off the ice for most of November.
