Sean Couturier is excited to have a different role with AHL Adirondack than he had with the Philadelphia Flyers in his rookie year. During the 2011-12 campaign, he averaged a mere 26 seconds of power-play time per game which was less than any regularly playing forward other than Max Talbot and Zac Rinaldo. In Tuesday's AHL exhibition match versus Albany, he set up two power-play goals in a 5-3 loss and helped quarterback the unit. "This year, I'll have the chance to prove myself," Couturier said. "I'm going to be in a different role. I know I can produce offensively. I had great offensive numbers at junior. I just need to be patient and wait for my chance [in the NHL]. At the same time, I've got to stay the same player that I am - a solid, two-way player." He mostly had a defensive, shutdown role with the Flyers, but a playoff hat trick displayed glimpses of his offensive talent. His time in the minors should help develop that side of his game.
