The Philadelphia Flyers are off to a 2-0 start to the season after sweeping a two-game set against the Pittsburgh Penguins. While they are undefeated in terms of their record, they suffered a loss early in Friday night’s game in the form of Sean Couturier.
Couturier left Friday night’s game early in the first period and it was announced on Saturday that he will miss at least two weeks with a Costochondral separation.
The Flyers are one of the deepest teams in the league, particularly at the forward position. However, Couturier is one of a select group of players whose absence could swing the Flyers in the wrong direction.
