Flyers' fans will welcome this news with open arms

Having a good centre line plays a big part in the success of a team.

Obviously, the Flyers wouldn't probably have made the playoffs this season with Sean Couturier healthy, but it's one of the huge reasons why the team had that kind of a campaign.

But there's good news. Sean Couturier, who is recovering from a season-ending back surgery, was on the ice today. He continued his rehab with skills coach Angelo Ricci.

He was moving pretty well on the ice and seemed quite comfortable out there.

Couturier will be ready for training camp in September. Until then, he will continue this important process. The Flyers desperately need him next year.

This season, the 29-year-old forward played only 29 games, registering 17 points.
