Couturier’s Fourth Line Surge | Philadelphia Flyers News

Sean Couturier, Philly’s longest-tenured Flyer and veteran captain, turned heads last season by stepping up as the fourth-line leader when injuries struck — and he delivered. After missing an entire year and seeing his stats dip, Couturier exploded in the final 20 games, scoring half his 12 goals and netting two against Winnipeg to clinch a playoff spot. He added a goal and three assists in the postseason, posting a stellar 54% faceoff win rate. Now that Garnet Hathaway and Luke Glendening are gone, Couturier will mentor younger players like Nikita Grebenkin or Denver Barkey — and if he can replicate his late-season form, he could lead the Flyers to a 15-20 goal, 40-point season while shaping the next generation of Flyers.
