Sean Couturier’s season was trying. Trying to return from almost two seasons off due to back injuries, two back surgeries and rehabbing from it. Trying to prove to both himself and his teammates that he wouldn’t miss a step and be worth every penny of the remaining seven years of his eight-year contract. And trying to prove his value to a notorious hardass coach who wouldn’t hesitate to lower the boom on Couturier if his play took a downward spiral, regardless of the “C” on his uniform or not.
Couturier hit the ground running to start the season.
