San Jose Sharks captain Logan Couture announced in his exit interview on Saturday that he and fiancée Brielle Eschen are expecting their first child in late July.
Couture re-affirmed once again his desire to turn things around with the Sharks and is realistic about the prospect of losing Erik Karlsson.
These are the highlights of Couture’s exit interview, see the full interview here.
Couture, on the Sharks' 2022-23 NHL season being an uphill climb from the beginning:
"Yeah, starting [0-5-0] or whatever, it was tough. I mean, you’re climbing out of a hole, or trying to, and with our travel, we’re in Prague, and then we’re on the East Coast. I sound like I’m making excuses, but I’m not trying to make excuses. It was difficult travel to start the year and got behind the eight ball a little bit and couldn’t find our way to get wins, and obviously, that’s on us. It was tough to start the way that we did."
