Flyers' Couturier out Saturday vs. Rangers
James Guillory / USA TODAY Sports
Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier will miss Saturday's game against the New York Rangers with an upper-body injury suffered at the hands - or rather, the elbow - of former teammate Zac Rinaldo.
Couturier was knocked out of Wednesday's win over Boston after catching a high elbow from Rinaldo - one that warranted a major penalty and a game misconduct, but no supplemental discipline from the league.
In Couturier's absence, the Flyers lined up as follows during their morning skate:
