Couturier's New Role Propels Flyers to 2-0 Lead

Philadelphia Flyers captain Sean Couturier is leading the team to a 2-0 series lead against the Pittsburgh Penguins, thanks to his new defensive role. After back surgeries, Couturier shifted from offensive duties to grinding harder minutes on the penalty kill and against top lines. His leadership and buy-in for the teams sake have earned him praise from teammates and brass. In the series, Couturier has won 18 of 26 face-offs, logged nearly 3 minutes per game on a perfect penalty kill, and led with 7 hits. His assist sealed the 3-0 shutout in game two. The series heads to Philly for game three on Wednesday. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
