Couturier (lower body) will return for Tuesday's tilt against the Canadiens, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Couturier had been held out of the club's last three games with a lower-body ailment, but the time off from the All-Star break was apparently enough for the 23-year-old to heal up. He's slated to slot into a top-six role, skating alongside Sam Gagner and Brayden Schenn on the team's second line.
