The Flyers management decided to put captain Sean Couturier in the stands for the last two games and he finally played in his first game since today.
The Flyers took on the Bruins today in a hard fought 3-2 win with their captain in the lineup.
After the game, Couturier was asked by reporters regarding his last two game in the stands which he humbly stated that it is in the rearview mirror and that he is happy the team has been successful without him in the lineup.
Sean Couturier with very upfront and honest answers to the benching. Said its in the rearview mirror. Mentioned multiple times all that matters is the wins at this point in the year. Very happy Flyers have gotten 5/6 points in last three games. #LetsGoFlyers
These are the true words of a leader, putting the team ahead of himself even in uneasy situations like the one he was in.
