Couturier delivered an assist and provided the only goal in the shootout in Wednesday's 3-2 SO win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier is performing at a predictable level based on 10 goals, 18 assists and a plus-10 rating through 39 games. The benefit of rostering the 12-year veteran is that you usually know what you're going to get, and Couturier is a mainstay on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit. He's had to work his way past two back surgeries, missing a season and a half before getting right for the 2023-24 campaign, but the 31-year-old has only missed a pair of contests this year and he's averaging 19:54 of ice time to boot.

Couturier (undisclosed) will play versus the Devils on Tuesday, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier was considered a game-time decision but appears set to play. The 31-year-old missed Monday's practice session. He should be able to handle his usual top-six role while seeing ice time in all situations.

Couturier will be a game-decision with an undisclosed injury against New Jersey on Tuesday, Dylan H. Robillard of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier, who missed practice Monday for what was originally deemed a maintenance day, was expected to still be in the lineup. Instead, the center appears to have been downgraded to a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's tilt. If Couturier does miss out, Morgan Frost is the most likely candidate to move into a first-line role.

Couturier tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier got the Flyers on the board in the closing seconds of the second period, finishing a give-and-go with Joel Farabee off a rush, before adding an assist on Travis Sanheim's tally in the third. The two-point effort extended Couturier's scoring streak to six games. He has two goals and five assists in that span after scoring just one goal in his previous five contests. The 31-year-old center is up to 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) through 26 games this season.

Couturier notched an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier stretched his point streak to five games (one goals, four assists). The center has added eight blocked shots and 17 shots on net in that span, providing strong two-way play as the Flyers' top-line pivot. He's up to 19 points, 66 shots on net, 16 blocks and a plus-8 rating through 25 appearances. Couturier should continue to see key minutes in all situations, and his current pace suggests a 60-point campaign isn't outlandish as long as he stays healthy.

Couturier notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier set up Travis Konecny for the opening tally midway through the first period. With a goal and three assists during his active four-game point streak, Couturier appears to be out of the inconsistency that plagued his offense late in November. He's at six goals, 12 assists, 64 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 24 outings. He's surpassed his total points from his last season before suffering a lengthy absence with a back injury -- he had 17 points in 29 games in 2021-22 prior to the injury.

EDGE Analysis

Couturier scored the game-winning goal in overtime and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Couturier's winner wasn't even intended to be a shot -- he tried to pass the puck to Travis Konecny in the low slot, only for it to take a funny hop and elude both Konecny and goalie Logan Thompson. Couturier extended his point streak to four games with the performance, and on the season the 30-year-old has four goals and 13 points through 15 contests.
