3 years agoSan Jose Sharks center Logan Couture has been placed in COVID-19 protocols and will miss Tuesday's visit to Detroit. Depth piece Lane Pederson has also joined the protocols. Couture's absence will be great news for the Red Wings, with the 32-year-old having put together a three-game goal streak. He's been very good throughout the campaign and boasts 29 points with 32 games played. Tomas Hertl will take over the first-line center position, which will make him a very attractive fantasy piece. The Czech forward has been deadly in front of the goal with a team-high 16 goals, and he'll have a chance to skate with San Jose's top scorer Timo Meier, who has been held pointless just nine times this season.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
