Sean Couturier returned to action on Friday February 15.

Sean Couturier appears to be over the flu, as he returned to practice Thursday. The young forward missed the last two games, even staying at his hotel for Monday's. "I feel great," he said. "I feel good to go and hopefully I will play" Friday. Couturier has five points on the year.

Sean Couturier didn't play Monday in Toronto because of the flu. He isn't expected to play on Tuesday night either in Winnipeg, as he is unlikely to travel with the team. Couturier has two goals, three assists and a minus-3 rating in 12 games, which shows that his sophomore season hasn't gotten off to a very good start. Consider him day-to-day.

Sean Couturier has been on the ice for 15 of Philadelphia's 20 goals against this season. "Everything seems to be going in when I'm out there," Couturier said. "Right now, the bounces aren't going my way." Somewhat fortunately for his fantasy owners, the sophomore forward only has a minus-4 rating. However, he has been on the ice for 10 power-play goals against. Philadelphia has struggled to kill penalties this campaign and currently sit second to last in that category with a 67.7 percent efficiency rating. Couturier is known as a solid two-way player, so he should be able to turn this problem around. He has two goals and one assist in seven games this season.

Sean Couturier scored his second goal of the season in a 5-1 loss to Tamoa Bay Sunday night. For a 19-year-old competing in the NHL, Couturier's performance is very impressive, but it's not likely that he'll be a significant offensive producer until he gets more games under his belt. His stock in leagues that reward shorthanded goals is much higher than those that don't.

Sean Couturier scored a goal in the Adirondack Phantoms' 2-1 overtime win against the Connecticut Whale. That's Couturier's second goal in his last three games. He has 10 goals and 18 assists in 31 games this season.

Sean Couturier scored a goal and registered two assists in the Adirondack Phantoms' 3-2 win against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Couturier is on a three-game point streak. He has eight goals and 26 points in 26 AHL games this season.

Sean Couturier registered two assists in the Adirondack Phantoms' 4-3 win over the Syracuse Crunch Saturday. Couturier has been playing in all situations for the Phantoms this season. He has been playing the point on the first power play unit and has been killing penalties on the second unit. The young Flyers winger is due for a bigger role and could make a big fantasy leap if and when the NHL season gets underway. He has 20 points in as many games this season in the AHL.

Sean Couturier has been playing in all situations for AHL Adirondack. He has been playing the point on the first power play unit and has been killing penalties on the second unit, so that coach Terry Murray can get more out of him in even-strength situations and give him plenty of ice time late in games. The Phantoms bench boss wants Couturier to shoot more, but he did score five goals in his first nine games of November, which is good progress from the one marker he scored in the first month of the season. He currently has six goals and 17 points in 18 games. "It's going pretty well," Couturier said of his AHL experience. "I'm getting [scoring] chances pretty much every game, which is something I couldn't say in the NHL. I'm looking to produce even more the rest of the season."

Sean Couturier scored his fifth goal of the season for Adirondack in a 2-1 win over Norfolk Friday night. The Flyers forward has registered 14 points in as many games with the Phantoms and appears to be keeping himself in game shape while waiting for the NHL season to begin.
