Deep Blue Sea: Why Cogliano left Sharks road trip

Plus Mitch Marner injured, a bonkers goal from Trevor Zegras and more in today’s news and notes.

During the team’s recent five-game road trip, San Jose Sharks forward Andrew Cogliano returned home for personal reasons, missing three games before returning to face the Columbus Blue Jackets for the final game of the trip.

It was a scary six days, as Cogliano’s daughter was admitted to hospital care while the team was in Chicago. Olive, the youngest of Cogliano’s two daughters with his wife Allie, will turn one year old in January.

Allie and Andrew welcomed Olive Bea Cogliano to the world on Friday!

Thankfully, Olive has returned home and the Sharks will have just one road game through the rest of the month — a quick trip to Anaheim on Dec. 27 — so Cogliano will be there to support his family in the aftermath. Still, I can’t imagine being across the country and hearing your child has been hospitalized.

“So it was a couple tough days, especially for my wife,” Cogliano told Curtis Pashelka of The Mercury News. “(Olive’s) not a year old yet. My job is hockey and no one loves the game more than me. But my first priority is being a dad and my girls at home.”

We’re so glad to hear Olive is doing well. I’ll be keeping the Coglianos in my thoughts and hoping for a peaceful recovery.
