"The Philadelphia Flyers were in for a tough night during their Game 4 loss without forward Sean Couturier and it showed in the final score losing 5-0.The Penguins now lead the series 3-1 and the Flyers are hoping that Couturier can play after his collision at practice with Radko Gudas. Couturier took part in an optional skate before Friday night's Game 5 in Pittsburgh which gives the team some hope for fighting off elimination. Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol stated after practice that Couturier would be a game time decision. He put a lot of time into taking faceoffs, is he ready to go?Along with Couturier, Hakstol also mentioned his starting goalie would be a game time decision. It will be interesting to see who Hakstol would take out of the lineup for Couturier, here's his lineup from yesterday's full practice. FORWARDS Giroux - Filppula - Voracek Lindblom - Patrick - Konecny Read - Lehtera - Simmonds Weal - Laughton - Raffl DEFENSIVE PAIRINGS Provorov - MacDonald Hagg - Gostisbehere Manning - Gudas
Starting goalie and Sean Couturier will be game-time decisions, per Hakstol.#Flyers — Marcus Hayes (@inkstainedretch) April 20, 2018
