• Flyers' Sean Couturier: Out Thursday

  8H ago • By RotoWire

  Couturier will miss Thursday's tilt against Ottawa because of a lower-body injury, and he's considered day-to-day beyond that. Couturier has three goals and eight points in 16 appearances in 2024-25. His absence might lead to a meaningful increase in ice time for Ryan Poehling. Morgan Frost will likely draw back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch Monday. When Couturier is ready to return, he will probably resume his roles on the Flyers' top line and first power-play unit.

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Couturier collected two assists in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes. The 31-year-old has been feast or famine to begin the season. Couturier erupted for five points Oct. 26 and picked up an assist Oct. 12, but he's been held scoreless in the other 10 contests he's suited up for. While his three goals and eight points in 13 games looks solid, the volatility makes him tough to rely on in anything other than season-long formats in which you can ride out the cold spells.

• Flyers' Sean Couturier: Hands out assist in loss

  10/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  Couturier produced an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Flames. Couturier helped out on Joel Farabee's tally in the second period. The 31-year-old Couturier battled a sports hernia late last season, ending the year with 38 points in 74 appearances. Through two games in 2024-25, he's featured in a more limited role, averaging 14:10 of ice time per game while adding just one shot on net, two hits and two blocked shots. At his peak, Couturier was an excellent shutdown center with 70-point potential, but injuries have taken their toll on him. If he remains in a third-line role, his fantasy value is minimal, especially if he eventually loses out on power-play time.

  Couturier (abdomen) skated with his potential first-line partners at Friday's training camp session, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Couturier doesn't appear to be suffering any lingering effects from offseason sports hernia surgery and should be all set for the start of the 2024-25 campaign. It's been two years since the veteran center was able to top the 40-point threshold, coming up just two points shy last season. If the Arizona native can get himself back on the No. 1 power-play unit, he should be able to jump back over that mark in 2024-25.
