Flyers' Couturier week-to-week with upper-body injury

The Philadelphia Flyers placed forward Sean Couturier on injured reserve Thursday with an upper-body injury.

He's week-to-week.

Couturier skated in the Flyers' Dec. 18 contest before the league's pause due to rising COVID-19 cases. He was placed in the NHL's protocol Dec. 21 and missed the Flyers' first game back against the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old has six goals and 11 assists in 29 contests this season while leading all forwards on the team with 20:23 of ice time per game.
