Head coach Alain Vigneault said he didn't know how serious Couturier's injury is after the center exited Tuesday's Game 5, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Couturier was injured on a knee-on-knee hit from Mathew Barzal in the second period and the former was unable to return to the contest. It's unclear if Couturier will be ready to play in time for Thursday's Game 6. If he can't go, Scott Laughton figures to move into a top-six role, while Michael Raffl or Morgan Frost are most likely to enter the lineup.

Couturier left Tuesday's Game 5 against the Islanders in the second period, presumably with an undisclosed injury, and has not returned to the bench per Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com. The game is currently in overtime.

EDGE Analysis

The Flyers' top center hasn't been officially ruled out for the remainder of the game, but it seems increasingly likely he's done for the night. He collided knee-on-knee with Mat Barzal, and given that it's a must-win game for Philadelphia, the fact he's not on the ice suggests he's dealing with an injury of some significance. Stay tuned for additional updates.

Couturier scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Couturier tied the game at one with his tally 15:19 into the second period. The center has been relatively limited in the playoffs with two goals and six assists through 13 games. He's added 23 shots on net and 29 hits. Couturier will likely need to make an impact in Tuesday's Game 5 to keep the Flyers' season going.

Couturier scored a goal and an assist Wednesday during the Flyers' 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders in Game 2 of their second-round series.

EDGE Analysis

After scoring his first goal of the postseason late in the first period to give the Flyers a 3-0 lead and chase Semyon Varlamov from the game, Couturier nearly fired home the winner in OT, but his shot from the slot went over the crossbar. Undeterred, the 27-year-old collected the puck behind the net and fed it out to Philippe Myers at the point, whose blast from the blue line got deflected by Anders Lee and found twine. Couturier now has a goal and five points in the last five games, and a hot streak from him would go a long way towards putting Philadelphia through to the conference finals. He'll try to stay locked in for Game 3 on Thursday.

Couturier registered two power-play helpers and 12 PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Canadiens in Game 5.

Couturier had back-to-back 76-point campaigns prior to 2019-20 ending abruptly. He can put up numbers worthy of his top-line center role when he's in form.

Couturier was absent from Wednesday's practice session for the birth of his child, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With teams prohibited from providing much in terms of detail regarding player absences, this will no doubt be a sigh of relief for Flyers fans. The center should be back on the ice in the coming days and figures to be full go for the Flyers' postseason matchup with Boston on Aug. 2.

Couturier (undisclosed) won't practice Wednesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Couturier has been a full participant since training camp began July 13, so it's highly possible he's simply getting a day off Wednesday. Another update on the 27-year-old pivot, who racked up 22 goals and 59 points in 69 games during the regular season, should surface once he's cleared to return to practice.

He was on pace for his third straight 70-point season. Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Couturier has 86 goals and 211 points in 231 games.

Couturier (illness) will be in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
