Flyers make captain Couturier healthy scratch vs. Leafs
Philadelphia Flyers captain Sean Couturier was left out of the lineup as a healthy scratch for Tuesday's clash against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Couturier, 31, has four assists and is a minus-14 in his last 15 games. He last scored a goal Feb. 10.
"Control what I can control, it is what it is," Couturier said before the game, according to PHLY Sports' Charlie O'Connor.
He added, "Just gotta leave my ego aside, I guess, and hopefully the team finds a way to get a win here tonight, and I can get back into it soon."
The 31-year-old was named the Flyers' captain Feb. 14.
Couturier returned to action this season after missing nearly two years with a back injury. The 2020 Selke Trophy winner has 11 goals and 36 points in 64 games.
Philadelphia is third in the Metropolitan Division with 76 points.
