Sharks' Logan Couture: Status uncertain for postseason

Couture's (mouth) availability for the opening game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is in question, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

This news effectively rules Couture out for the remainder of the regular season as he works toward a return to the lineup. With the 28-year-old sidelined, Patrick Marleau will likely see the biggest uptick in ice time as he slots into a top-six role.
