Couturier will not return to Thursday's Game 1 against the Capitals due to an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

While the issue is currently classified as upper-body, CSN Philadelphia's Tim Panaccio indicates the issue appeared to be related to his shoulder. Consider him day-to-day for the time being, but the Philadelphia Inquirer's Sam Carchidi surmises the injury could be long-term in nature. His next chance to play now comes Saturday for Game 2 in Washington, but expect the team to update his status further before then.
