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.

Couturier provided an assist in Monday's 5-3 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier helped out on Owen Tippett's empty-net goal in the third period. Since returning from a two-game absence in mid-January, Couturier has been limited to a goal and three assists over his last 10 contests. The center has a solid 33 points with 148 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 50 appearances, and his strong defensive play will likely keep him in a top-line role.

Couturier scored a goal on six shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
A set play off the faceoff resulted in Couturier tipping home a Travis Sanheim shot. The goal was Couturier's first since Jan. 6, a span of 11 contests in which he racked up just four assists. The 31-year-old doesn't have to score to maintain a top-six role, as his all-around play is more than enough. He's at 11 tallies, 32 points, 147 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 49 appearances this season.

EDGE Analysis
Couturier has 10 goals and 29 points in 40 outings in 2023-24. With his injury being classified as minor, he might still be an option for Monday's contest against St. Louis. In the meantime, Bobby Brink, who was a healthy scratch Friday, is expected to draw back into the lineup Saturday.

The 31-year-old center has played well this season, racking up 29 points (six on the power play), 113 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 40 appearances. He should continue to see regular top-line usage and power-play time.
