He had another setback in his recovery in late October and took multiple weeks off before he resumed skating earlier this month.The Sharks, mindful of recent setbacks, are taking a cautious approach with Couture’s recovery and timeline, with coach David Quinn only saying Sunday that the team is optimistic the centerman will be able to return before April.“He’s making progress, daily he’s getting better,” Quinn said of Couture. “I don’t want to jump the gun there.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has invited Ukraine’s leader, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to the White House on Tuesday as the U.S. administration steps up the pressure on Congress to provide billions more in aid to Kyiv in the war with Russia.The visit is intended “to underscore the United States’ unshakeable commitment to supporting the people of Ukraine as they defend themselves against Russia’s brutal invasion,” the White House said in a statement Sunday. “As Russia ramps up its missile and drone strikes against Ukraine, the leaders will discuss Ukraine’s urgent needs and the vital importance of the United States’ continued support at this critical moment.”Biden has asked Congress for a $110 billion package of wartime funding for Ukraine ($61.4 billion) and Israel, along with other national security priorities.
