SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks hope to soon get a better idea of when Logan Couture might be able to skate again but coach David Quinn said the team will continue to take a cautious approach with their captain, even if it means he’ll miss the season opener next month.Quinn said Monday the Sharks will see how Couture, who is dealing with an unspecified lower-body injury and is considered week-to-week, feels in a few more days before they entertain the possibility of him skating again.Couture said last Thursday on the first day of camp that the injury didn’t take place at one particular moment, but rather over time in the offseason as he began to ramp up his skating for the upcoming year. Sharks general manager Mike Grier said at the time that he first learned of Couture’s injury the week before camp began.Couture said his goal was to be ready to play on Oct. 12 when the Sharks open the season at home against the defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights. But Qui...
