Couturier (foot) appears to have a good chance to play Tuesday against the Hurricanes, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Absent since late January with a lower-body issue, Couturier skated Sunday and again Monday, and indicated he feels ready to go. Expect the team to update his status again on gameday, but his return would provide some relief in light of the news that Claude Giroux (upper body) will sit again.
