The win cuts the Kings' series lead to 2-1.","spin":"This is the first OT tally of Couture's career, and came on a San Jose power play. The injury cost him most of the second frame, but he played all of the third before delivering the clincher. As long as he's on a line with Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau, Couture is a solid bet to appear on the scoresheet.","date":"Sun May 19"},"fullName":"Logan Couture","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Couture's sophomore season could hardly be described as a slump, but many were expecting more goals (not one fewer) and more than a nine-point improvement on his rookie campaign. The 23-year-old had offseason shoulder surgery for a separation that he had apparently played through for parts of last season. That may not be an excuse, but it certainly offers a reasonable explanation for why he underperformed expectations. Couture is a great sleeper for 2012-13 because of how easy it is to forget what happened just two seasons ago. Couture scored 10 goals in one month during December of his rookie campaign. He has a great nose for the net and could come from behind to be the most valuable fantasy player on the San Jose Sharks this season.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Tue Sep 11"},"playerRater30DAY":8.9,"playerRater15DAY":9.2,"positionRank":18}
