Sean Couturier Departs Friday's Contest Early
4 years agoPhiladelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier skated just 45 seconds before departing his team's 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins due to injury. While it's unclear when the 28-year-old suffered the injury, Couturier is scheduled to get an MRI on his shoulder on Saturday. Any prolonged loss of the Flyers' top center would be a tough loss for fantasy owners as Couturier has truly established himself as one of the game's top two-way forwards. After checking in with two straight 76-point seasons, Couturier is coming off of a 2019-2020 campaign in which he posted 59 points (22 goals, 37 assists), a plus-21 rating and 185 shots on goal in 69 games. Check back for further updates following the Flyers' star center's MRI.

Sean Couturier Available On Saturday
4 months agoPhiladelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (lower body) will re-enter the lineup on Saturday against Buffalo. He missed Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to Ottawa due to a lower-body injury, and the team initially considered him a game-time decision for Saturday. Couturier will take on his normal duties as the first-line center, which pushes Ryan Poehling back to the fourth line. Meanwhile, Morgan Frost will get the night off as a healthy scratch. Couturier is a bad fantasy option in current form, as he's landed on the score sheet just three times in 16 appearances this season.
