Couturier will be held out for 4-to-6 weeks with his sprained MCL, Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a significant loss for the Flyers, as Couturier had been deployed in all situations as a 23-year-old pivot. At this point, the Flyers and his fantasy owners alike can only hope that Couturier, who's been moved to injured reserve, is healthy before the New Year. Scott Laughton has been called up from the minors in the wake of this news.
