Couture returns to Sharks' lineup vs. Flames

The San Jose Sharks are about to get a gigantic boost to their lineup.

Logan Couture will make his highly anticipated return from injury Tuesday against the Calgary Flames after missing 23 games.

Couture was activated from injured reserve Monday. He has not played since suffering a broken fibula during a practice in mid-October.

The 26-year-old forward recorded one assist in three games prior to the injury. He had 27 goals and 40 assists in 82 games last season.
