Couturier is dealing with a sprained MCL to his left knee and is set to undergo further evaluation Wednesday, CSN Philly reports.

EDGE Analysis

The two-way talent sustained the ailment early in the second period of Tuesday's game against the Panthers, after opposing forward Vincent Trocheck fell on him. Now in the care of the Flyers' medical staff, we expect the next update on Couturier to detail how much time he could miss; he's already been ruled out for Wednesday's game with the Flyers with a replacement still to be named. Philadelphia is literally hurting down the middle between this news on Couturier and Boyd Gordon (upper body) remaining on injured reserve, so a call-up from the minors could be imminent.
