EDGE Analysis
Couturier is questionable for Friday's tilt in Buffalo. The 31-year-old has 11 goals, 25 assists and 182 shots on goal in 70 appearances this season. Look for Bobby Brink to get back in the lineup should Couturier be unavailable against the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis
Couturier will return to the lineup after being a healthy scratch for the past two games. The 31-year-old center has contributed just three assists in his past 14 appearances while averaging 14:31 of ice time per contest. Couturier will replace Nicolas Deslauriers in Saturday's lineup.

Couturier is expected to be a healthy scratch in Carolina on Thursday, Anthony Di Marco of The Fourth Period reports.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier was also a healthy scratch Tuesday versus Toronto, as he appears to be in coach John Tortorella's doghouse. The veteran center has 11 goals and 36 points in 64 games this season after sitting out the 2022-23 season due to back surgery.

Couturier will be a healthy scratch Tuesday when the Flyers host the Maple Leafs, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier will miss just his fifth game of the season Tuesday. The 31-year-old has recorded 11 goals and 25 assists in 64 games played. It's unlikely Couturier's time in the doghouse will last for long, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action Thursday against Carolina.

Couturier suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier took a slash around the knee in the third period, and while he was able to log one shift after that, he didn't feature late in regulation or in overtime. There was no update after the game, so he should be considered questionable for Saturday's Stadium Series game versus the Devils.
