Sean Couturier scored for the fourth game in a row, but the Philadelphia Flyers fell 4-2 to the Nashville Predators on Saturday night.
In addition to his ninth goal of the year, the rookie also had an assist and a plus-two rating. There's certainly upside here, but his 16 overall points and up-and-down ice time reveal he's still not much of an option in yearly leagues right now. Wayne Simmonds also had a goal and an assist, and the feisty winger now has 12 goals and 23 points on the year, with six of those points coming in seven January games. Simmonds may not have the scoring prowess to be keyed on in fantasy leagues, but his penalty minutes (53) make him a viable depth option. Andrej Meszaros and Matt Read had the other helpers.
