Couturier notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier made his way back to the top line after often toiling in a lower spot in the lineup over the last month. However, it was with second-line wingers when Couturier got on the scoresheet Tuesday, as he set up a Tyson Foerster goal in the second period. The Flyers' forward combinations are almost always in flux, but there's no denying Couturier's ice time has been down. He averaged just 13:07 in January, well under his 16:43 per game for the season. The center is at 25 points, 91 shots on net, 35 hits, 34 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 52 appearances this season. He can still be useful in some fantasy formats, but Couturier is not a must-have player by any means.

EDGE Analysis
Couturier missed Monday's home game against the Devils due to his illness, but he'll be back in action for Wednesday's rematch following a one-game absence.

Couturier has been ruled out for Monday's game against New Jersey due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier has missed just two of the Flyers' first 50 games of the season, but he'll be sidelined for the first time since Dec. 21 on Monday. It's not yet clear what illness he's dealing with, but he should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's road matchup in New Jersey. Scott Laughton will return to the lineup Monday after missing the last three games while tending to a family matter.

Couturier logged an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier has three points over his last two games. The 32-year-old center has been stuck in a bottom-six role for a couple of weeks, but his 14:38 of ice time Saturday was his most over nine contests in January. He's at 23 points, 78 shots on net, 31 hits, 28 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 45 appearances this season. Couturier will be tough to trust in fantasy until he returns to top-six usage.

Couturier picked up a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran center opened the scoring for the Flyers early in the second period, banging home a Joel Farabee pass from right on Ilya Sorokin's doorstep. Couturier has struggled to provide consistent production this season -- over his prior 10 games, he'd managed just two helpers -- and through 44 appearances, he has only eight goals and 22 points.

Couturier notched an assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier set up Scott Laughton's game-tying goal midway through the second period. After being limited to four points over 12 games in December, Couturier has been demoted to the fourth line, and his 13:41 of ice time Sunday suggests it's not just a change on paper. The 32-year-old center is at 19 points, 68 shots on net, 28 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 38 appearances.

Couturier scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier welcomed his son into the world, which was why he missed Saturday's game versus the Blue Jackets. He then delivered a goal in his first game back, though the Flyers couldn't keep pace with their intrastate rivals. The 32-year-old center is up to seven tallies, 18 points, 62 shots on net, 27 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 33 appearances. Look for Couturier to handle significant minutes as a strong two-way center moving forward, though his defensive duties may occasionally interfere with his scoring production.

Couturier picked up two assists in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran center had a hand in a Travis Konecny tally that opened the scoring just 66 seconds into the first period, and an Owen Tippett marker early in the third that momentarily tied the game at 4-4. Couturier snapped a brief four-game point drought with the performance, and he's still struggling to find consistency this season, managing three goals and nine points over his last 15 appearances.
