2 months agoPhiladelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (illness) will be sidelined against the New Jersey Devils on Monday. The Flyers captain is battling an illness and has to come out of the lineup for the third time this season. Couturier has produced eight goals and 16 assists in 48 outings this season. His spot in the lineup will go to Scott Laughton (personal), who is ready to return from a three-game absence. Laughton has offered similar production to Couturier, posting nine goals and 14 assists in 47 contests. However, Laughton has struggled offensively in recent times, going scoreless in eight out of 10 appearances.

4 months agoPhiladelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (personal) will return to the lineup on Monday versus Pittsburgh. He missed Saturday's meeting with Columbus due to a personal matter. The veteran forward will operate as the first-line center, working with Owen Tippett and Travis Konecny. Couturier's efforts have resulted in six goals and 17 points in 32 appearances this season. He tends to go through cold spells and is in the middle of one right now, with seven of Couturier's last nine appearances ending without a point for him.

5 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.

1 year agoPhiladelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier will not be available to the team for at least the next two games due to an upper-body injury. The center remains day to day and did not travel with the team for a game against the Sabres on Friday and the Blue Jackets on Saturday. "Little nicked up now, hopefully we'll get him back here and get him going down the right road," Flyers bench boss John Tortorella said on Friday. Couturier was injured when he fell hard into the board during a 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders on Monday. The Flyers sit third in the Metropolitan Division but the Islanders, Capitals, and Penguins all sit within two points with the Capitals owning a game in hand.
