Couturier had to watch from the sidelines as the Flyers won against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Despite his agent, Erik Lupien, expressing displeasure through the media, Couturier found himself benched again for the next game against the Carolina Hurricanes, which the Flyers lost.
It was undoubtedly tough for Couturier, a respected NHL veteran, to deal with this situation. However, there are signs that he may return to the lineup soon.
According to a report by Flyers insider Anthony SanFilippo, Couturier is expected to play in the upcoming game against the Boston Bruins. This game is crucial for the Flyers as they aim to secure their spot in the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs.
It's uncertain whether Couturier will return to his usual position in the lineup or if Tortorella has other plans.
