Flyers' Sean Couturier: Gets 200th NHL goal in win
Rotowire
Couturier scored a goal and added two assists in a 6-3 win over Edmonton on Saturday.
His line delivered eight points in the game. Matvei Michkov also put up a goal and two helpers, and Owen Tippett scored twice. Each player finished with a plus-5 rating. Couturier's goal was his 200th in the NHL, and it was his first in 11 games (three assists). Despite the strong showing, Couturier's fantasy outlook remains unchanged. With just nine goals, 19 assists and 96 shots, Couturier is on pace for another sub-40-point season. There are plenty of centers worthy of more fantasy attention.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Picks up assist in overtime loss
Rotowire
Couturier notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
Couturier made his way back to the top line after often toiling in a lower spot in the lineup over the last month. However, it was with second-line wingers when Couturier got on the scoresheet Tuesday, as he set up a Tyson Foerster goal in the second period. The Flyers' forward combinations are almost always in flux, but there's no denying Couturier's ice time has been down. He averaged just 13:07 in January, well under his 16:43 per game for the season. The center is at 25 points, 91 shots on net, 35 hits, 34 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 52 appearances this season. He can still be useful in some fantasy formats, but Couturier is not a must-have player by any means.

Couturier has missed just two of the Flyers' first 50 games of the season, but he'll be sidelined for the first time since Dec. 21 on Monday.

Scott Laughton will return to the lineup Monday after missing the last three games while tending to a family matter.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Manages assist in win
Rotowire
Couturier logged an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Devils.
Couturier has three points over his last two games. The 32-year-old center has been stuck in a bottom-six role for a couple of weeks, but his 14:38 of ice time Saturday was his most over nine contests in January. He's at 23 points, 78 shots on net, 31 hits, 28 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 45 appearances this season. Couturier will be tough to trust in fantasy until he returns to top-six usage.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Two-point effort Thursday

The veteran center opened the scoring for the Flyers early in the second period, banging home a Joel Farabee pass from right on Ilya Sorokin's doorstep. Couturier has struggled to provide consistent production this season -- over his prior 10 games, he'd managed just two helpers -- and through 44 appearances, he has only eight goals and 22 points.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Provides assist Sunday
Rotowire
Couturier notched an assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
Couturier set up Scott Laughton's game-tying goal midway through the second period. After being limited to four points over 12 games in December, Couturier has been demoted to the fourth line, and his 13:41 of ice time Sunday suggests it's not just a change on paper. The 32-year-old center is at 19 points, 68 shots on net, 28 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 38 appearances.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Scores in return
Rotowire
Couturier scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Penguins.
Couturier welcomed his son into the world, which was why he missed Saturday's game versus the Blue Jackets. He then delivered a goal in his first game back, though the Flyers couldn't keep pace with their intrastate rivals. The 32-year-old center is up to seven tallies, 18 points, 62 shots on net, 27 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 33 appearances. Look for Couturier to handle significant minutes as a strong two-way center moving forward, though his defensive duties may occasionally interfere with his scoring production.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Two helpers in Wednesday's loss
Rotowire
Couturier picked up two assists in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Red Wings.
The veteran center had a hand in a Travis Konecny tally that opened the scoring just 66 seconds into the first period, and an Owen Tippett marker early in the third that momentarily tied the game at 4-4. Couturier snapped a brief four-game point drought with the performance, and he's still struggling to find consistency this season, managing three goals and nine points over his last 15 appearances.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Snags helper in overtime loss
Rotowire
Couturier posted an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Couturier has three goals and three helpers over his last seven outings. The 32-year-old center hadn't found much steady offense prior to this stretch, but the Flyers are still a somewhat low-scoring team, so he may struggle to sustain his recent success. Overall, Couturier is at 15 points, 55 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-1 rating through 26 appearances.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Scores game-winning goal in OT
Rotowire
Couturier scored the game-winning goal and also delivered an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Couturier had one of the assists in Morgan Frost's tip-in with 12 seconds left in the third period to force overtime, and the 31-year-old would end up scoring the winning goal with 2:29 left in OT. Couturier has scored in three straight games and seems to be trending in the right direction after a slow start to the campaign. However, he won't have a lot of fantasy upside until he can consistently record points on a steady basis.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Goals in back-to-back games
Rotowire
Couturier scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.
Couturier has scored in back-to-back games for his first goals since his hat trick Oct. 26 versus the Wild. While his offense hasn't been consistent in November, the 31-year-old has seen top-line minutes after having his workload managed in October. For the season, Couturier is at five goals, six helpers, 44 shots on net, 19 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 21 outings. He's had too many injuries over the last few years, so a return to his former 70-point form is unlikely, but he could push for 40-50 points if he stays healthy.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Out Thursday
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.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Picks up two helpers
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.
