Sharks Stun Red Wings Behind Rookie Logan Couture's Two Goals

Behind impressive rookie center Logan Couture, the San Jose Sharks upset the Detroit Red Wings 5-2 on the road Monday night. Couture notched his second two-goal game in three contests, as he leads all rookies with 12 goals on the season.

And the young rook doesn't seem fazed by the big stage, either. The first two-goal game came in his return home to Ottawa last week -- where he played junior hockey -- and the second one came on national television as he handed the first-place Red Wings (17-5-3) only their second loss in regulation at home all season. Couture also got the best of Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard, who had not lost a regular season game at home in regulation since last March.
