Vigneault Explains Why Sean Couturier Has Stopped Taking Faceoffs.

"It's been something that's really developed over the last week or so. Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier has been kept away from the faceoff circle for a couple of games. Not normal for a guy who's won 50% of his faceoffs during his career and 57% last year. Flyers head coach Alain Vigneault revealed to reporters on Monday that Couturier has been dealing with an injury. Vigneault stated that Couturier is dealing with a shoulder strain and needs about another week before he can take the majority of faceoffs again.

Couturier's issue is a shoulder strain, per AV. He needs about another week before he can take frequent faceoffs again.
