Sean Couturier
Welcome to Between the Pipes, a look at the Philadelphia Flyers and the NHL through linkage.
Another week has come and gone and for the Flyers, there were many contributors. This week, our player of the week is Sean Couturier. Couturier has points in his last six games, but really elevated his play this week, scoring two goals and adding two assists for four points in three games. Our play of […]
The Flyers most complete game in recent memory came on Thursday night against New Jersey. Their most dominant and lopsided performance came Saturday afternoon against Carolina. A 5-1 win over the Hurricanes marked the Flyers fifth straight game with at least a point in the standings. Lately, the points have been finding the Flyers both […]
It had been over a month, but the Flyers finally put together the complete effort that had them rolling in early November and that they desperately lacked in a freefall at the close of the month. The biggest reason for that was a total team effort, with all lines playing a part in their 4-1 […]
A matter of inches helped the Flyers salvage another point. And another odd-man-rush foiled the Flyers chance for the second. A goal by Brayden Schenn in the final minute of regulation just barely trickled over the line to force overtime. But in the extra session, the Flyers chances were thwarted by Sergei Bobrovsky before Kevin […]

Tuesday night's game against the Sharks had two different feels. On one hand, the Flyers were playing their best game in recent memory. And they were buzzing toward the end of regulation. As overtime neared, visions of the Flyers win against Los Angeles in late October were in mind. The Flyers just needed the finish, […]
#140417552 / gettyimages.com The Philadelphia Flyers played arguably their best road game of the season, for 59 minutes. Sean Couturier gave them a first period lead. San Jose got a late goal in the second. Matt Nieto scored with 11 seconds left and the Philadelphia Flyers fell to the San Jose Sharks 2-1 at […]
It's time for a line change for the Flyers. Game after game, it was one line truly powering the Flyers offense. When they were snuffed out by the New York Islanders on Monday, Craig Berube finally noticed what was obvious for several games. The Flyers have a lot of players who can score. But they […]
A long layoff hurt the Flyers on Friday night. Lucky for them, there is not much time to dwell on the recent opast and a chance at redemption waiting on Saturday. Redemption comes in two forms in this Saturday night game between the Flyers and the Montreal Canadiens. The Flyers had a three-game winning streak […]
