The Philadelphia Flyers have been struggling recently and so have Sean Couturier and he could be a candidate for a healthy scratch. Now this has not been confirmed yet, however John Tortorella has stated that Sean Couturier must be better.
The Flyers haven't been playing their best hockey over past two weeks. HC John Tortorella has not been shy to say his leaders - was asked directly about Sean Couturier today - must be better. Could Torts send a big message & leave Couturier out of lineup tomorrow? #LetsGoFlyers
Sean Couturier has not scored a goal in the last 15 games and only has 4 assists in that span. However, what is very telling, is his playing time as of late. On Saturday night against the Boston Bruins, Couturier had 11 minutes and 10 seconds of playing time and to put that into perspective, Cam Atkinson who has been scratched several times this year had 11 minutes and 31 seconds of playing time. If the Flyers want to start winning games down the stretch, then they need players like Sean Couturier to be better in these games.
