He has totaled eight goals and 16 assists in 48 appearances, producing 85 shots on goal.

The veteran forward will operate as the first-line center, working with Owen Tippett and Travis Konecny. Couturier's efforts have resulted in six goals and 17 points in 32 appearances this season. He tends to go through cold spells and is in the middle of one right now, with seven of Couturier's last nine appearances ending without a point for him.
Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (lower body) will re-enter the lineup on Saturday against Buffalo. He missed Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to Ottawa due to a lower-body injury, and the team initially considered him a game-time decision for Saturday. Couturier will take on his normal duties as the first-line center, which pushes Ryan Poehling back to the fourth line. Meanwhile, Morgan Frost will get the night off as a healthy scratch. Couturier is a bad fantasy option in current form, as he's landed on the score sheet just three times in 16 appearances this season.

The Flyers captain has also sat out some action as a healthy scratch recently. He's been in an ugly slump since February and has had a disappointing campaign with 36 points (11 goals, 25 assists) in 70 games.

The veteran was reportedly frustrated by the decision by head coach John Tortorella. "I guess we're going to the best lineup available tonight to get a win," the veteran said.

He missed the entire 2022-23 season due to a back injury and played in just 29 games the season prior.

Couturier sits fourth in scoring on the team with 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) in 51 games. Ryan Poehling could get a chance to move into the top six without Couturier.

Drysdale, recently acquired from the Anaheim Ducks, recorded an assist in each of his first two games with the Flyers before missing the past two games with an illness.

Sean Couturier Will Be Game-Time Decision Saturday
Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (undisclosed) is dealing with an unknown injury and is at risk of missing Saturday's game against the Detroit Red Wings. Couturier has missed a couple of games this year already and has been a game-time decision a few times as well, which makes sense since he had played only 29 games in the previous two seasons combined. When he's been on the ice, Couturier hasn't lost much, as the veteran has posted 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) as part of the Flyers first line and first powerplay unit. He is severely underrated in fantasy and should be owned in standard and deeper leagues.
Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (lower body) will return to the lineup on Tuesday when the club takes on the hosting San Jose Sharks. The veteran has missed each of the last two contests after he suffered a lower-body injury against the Buffalo Sabres on Friday, but he returned to practice Monday in San Jose. A back injury cost the 30-year-old the entire 2022-23 season while he appeared in just 74 games between the 2020-21 and 2021-22 campaigns. Through 10 games this season, Couturier has registered two goals and eight points in 19:32 of average ice time per game. He has 20 shots and four penalty minutes to his credit but also just a pair of hits and a zero plus/minus rating. He is expected to return to his spot on the top line and top power-play unit on Tuesday in San Jose against a Sharks team off to a historically poor start to their season.
Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier will not play Friday with a lower-body injury suffered Wednesday against the Buffalo Sabres. It is unfortunate news, as the Flyers' number one center was off to a very strong start to his season after missing the last year and a half due to a back injury. The good news here is that the injury isn't back-related, and Couts is deemed day-to-day for now. Expect Morgan Frost or Scott Laughton to move into Couturier's spot on the first line, with Frost likely taking over duties on the top powerplay unit.
Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Tuesday versus Vancouver. Couturier's status for the game was in doubt after he sat out Monday's practice, but the Flyers will be happy to know that the former Selke Trophy winner won't have to miss any game action. Philadelphia head coach John Tortorella will have Couturier paired with Joel Farabee and Bobby Brink on the top line Tuesday, with Morgan Frost a healthy scratch for the contest.
Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier sat out Monday's practice with an undisclosed injury. According to Flyers head coach John Tortorella, Couturier is "banged up," and the injury isn't related to his previous back problem, which kept the veteran centerman sidelined for the entire 2022-23 campaign. The latter part of the statement is great news, but it's still going to be a major blow for Philadelphia if Couturier can't get himself game-ready for Tuesday's tilt against the Canucks. The 30-year-old has tallied an assist and three shots on goal with a plus-three rating through the first two games of the season.
Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier was finally back in action on Monday, logging 18:05 of ice time in a 6-0 defeat to New Jersey. The game marked Couturier's first outing in 646 days. He last suited up on Dec. 21, 2021. The game ended in a heavy defeat, but it must have been a special night for Couturier after his lengthy battle with back problems. Couturier has been a big two-way force for the Flyers and should be amped up for the 2023-24 campaign. Hopefully, he can stay away from further injury troubles.
Sean Couturier And Cam Atkinson Ready For Training Camp
Philadelphia Flyers forwards Sean Couturier (back) and Cam Atkinson (neck) are expected to be on the ice when training camp opens next month, according to the team's president of hockey operations Keith Jones. Both players missed the entire 2022-23 season with injuries. Jones noted that they were already healthy to come back at the end of the season. The duo will be a huge addition to the Flyers, who finished 31-38-13 last term. Couturier is a former Selke Trophy winner who has two 30-goal seasons under his belt and Atkinson is a proven scorer in the league with 236 goals and 216 assists posted in 700 games.
Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier has undergone back revision surgery and will be unable to play for 3-4 months. Couturier's season debut has been delayed because of a back problem and sadly we won't be seeing him for quite a while. He also had season-ending back surgery in February, so talk about bad luck. Couturier's last game was on Dec. 18, 2021, meaning he will have been out of action for over 12 months when he has completed his recovery from his latest back surgery. The Flyers have somehow gone 5-2-0 at the start of the season without him and Cam Atkinson (upper body), who also hasn't yet played this season and remains without a return date. Kevin Hayes and Scott Laughton have been the top-six centers with Couturier unavailable, while Atkinson's absence has opened up opportunities to the likes of Owen Tippett and Noah Cates.
