Logan Couture isn't about to let a little hospitalization slow him down.
After scoring twice in the first period, the San Jose Sharks forward revealed in an intermission report that he spent most of the morning in hospital battling an undisclosed illness.
He received word a little less than a hour before puck drop that he would be able to feature in Todd McLellan's lineup against the Anaheim Ducks - a late inclusion that's proving to be a vital one.
