The Philadelphia Daily News says forward Sean Couturier is finally playing with confidence again. Couturier has no goals this season but the newspaper says he is confident because of his defensive contributions. "On Wednesday night, for instance, you look at the ice time and notice the only shift Sidney Crosby took without Couturier on the ice was when Couturier was in the penalty box in the third period," the paper says. "He's been huge," Flyers coach Craig Berube is quoted as saying about Couturier. "He's going against a lot of good players every night. He does a real good job defensively."
