Flyers' Sean Couturier: Supplies two helpers Thursday
Rotowire
Couturier logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Sabres.
Couturier ended the year strong with 13 points (five goals, eight assists) over the last 13 games. That brought him to a total of 45 points, his most since the 2019-20 campaign. The center had 15 goals, 30 assists, four power-play points, 155 shots on net, 54 hits, 45 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 79 appearances, mainly serving in a top-six role. He'll likely stay there for a while longer, but if the Flyers upgrade their center depth, Couturier could eventually shuffle down to the third line in a shutdown role.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: One of each in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Couturier scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Rangers.
Couturier was questionable to play in the contest, but he was able to make an impact. The 32-year-old has five goals and five assists over his last nine outings despite snapping a three-game point drought Wednesday. The center is at 42 points, 147 shots on net, 50 hits, 42 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 75 appearances. It's his best point total since 2019-20, though Couturier is unlikely to ever get back to his career high of 76 points from 2017-18 and 2018-19, as injuries have sapped a lot of his scoring potential over the years.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Set to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Couturier (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup Wednesday versus the Rangers.
The Flyers sent down Rodrigo Abols and waived Olle Lycksell earlier in the week, leaving the team with just 12 healthy forwards. Interim head coach Brad Shaw indicated that the forwards on the NHL roster would play Wednesday, clearing the path for Couturier to suit up after battling an injury earlier in the week.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Sustains injury
Rotowire
Couturier is dealing with an undisclosed injury that could sideline him against the Rangers on Wednesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
For now, Couturier should be considered questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup. If the veteran center were to miss out, it would likely mean increased minutes for youngster Karsen Dorwart, while Rodrigo Abols could get back into the lineup after serving as a healthy scratch Saturday.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Big night against Montreal
Rotowire
Couturier scored two goals, one the game-winner on the power play, and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.
A Montreal turnover midway through the third period sprung Philly for a 2-on-1, and Couturier used Travis Konecny as a decoy before snapping the puck past Jakub Dobes to give the Flyers a 5-2 lead. Remarkably, it was Couturier's first power-play goal of the season. The 32-year-old has gotten onto the scoresheet in five straight games, racking up four goals and eight points over that stretch, and Thursday's performance got Couturier up to 40 points (14 goals, 26 assists) on the season in 71 appearances.

He scored on a deflection late in the second to cut the score to 6-2. Couturier is on a four-game, five-point scoring streak (two goals, three assists). He has 14 shots in that span. Couturier might offer you some fantasy relief if you've been hit hard by injuries down the middle.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Delivers pair of helpers
Rotowire
Couturier notched two assists, four shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Blackhawks.
Couturier has found steadier offense lately with a goal and five assists over his last nine outings. That's earned him a return to top-line duties after frequently serving in a middle-six role earlier in March and at other times previously in the season. The 32-year-old center hasn't had the best year, but he's managed a respectable 36 points with 126 shots on net, 44 hits, 41 blocked shots and 39 PIM across 69 contests.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Scores goal in Thursday's loss
Rotowire
Couturier scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.
Couturier's tally brought the Flyers within a goal at 17:24 of the third period, but they couldn't net an equalizer. This was his first goal since March 4, and he was limited to two helpers over seven outings between tallies. The 32-year-old center has not been immune from the Flyers' scoring struggles lately, making him a risky fantasy option at best. He's produced 11 goals, 33 points, 121 shots on net, 43 hits, 39 blocked shots, 37 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 67 appearances in 2024-25.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Buries goal in Tuesday's loss
Rotowire
Couturier scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.
Couturier's offense has been spotty for much of the campaign, but he has five points and a plus-6 rating over his last five outings. The 32-year-old saw 36 seconds of power-play time Tuesday, his most in a game since Dec. 28 versus the Ducks. Couturier is now at 10 goals, 30 points, 106 shots on net, 39 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 59 appearances. He scores enough to be on the radar in fantasy, but his relatively modest production as a center makes him useful primarily in deeper formats.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
