Among some of the best lines in the NHL, the Coots, Atkinson, and Tippett line has been ranked #4.
This line ranks #4 in the league with a 70.7% xGF(goals for) rate and produces some of the highest-quality shots.
Back injuries are brutal and sometimes very hard to overcome but then when you look around the league and see players like Jack Eichel coming back from his neck issue and returning to form with the Vegas Golden Knights and leading his team to a Cup; it's entirely possible. Couturier suffered a setback on top of everything else but the solid, two-way, playmaking, power-forward, centreman hasn't looked out of place to start the 2023-24 season.
Couturier's season to date:
@ Columbus: 1 assist, plus-3, 2 shots, 20:39 TOI
@ Ottawa: 0 points, even-rating, 1 shot, 20:00 TOI
vs. Vancouver: 1 goal, plus-1, 4 shots, 22:53 TOI
vs. Edmonton: 2 assists, plus-3, 2 shots, 19:56 TOI
Through the first 4 games of the season he has played 18.7 minutes on the power play and 10.2 minutes while shorthanded.

There is no doubt that all three players are skilled producers, and they have lived up to their hype this year, it seems, early on, with a 4.96 xgf total per 60 minutes on ice.
As long as the team keeps up the pressure, this should become a regular occurrence. Has Philly's John Tortorella renaissance begun?
