The San Jose Sharks scheduled a news conference for Tuesday, when the club and captain Logan Couture will announce that the veteran center can\'t continue his playing career because of injury, a source told ESPN\'s Emily Kaplan and Greg Wyshynski on Monday night, confirming a report.
An NHL source told Wyshynski that Couture won\'t officially retire, and that, instead, he will remain on long-term injured reserve. But his playing days are over, marking an end to one of the greatest careers in Sharks history.
