Flyers captain Sean Couturier played a major role in the win, as the 2011 eighth-overall pick had three points and an impressive plus-5 rating on the afternoon. He also hit a major career milestone, as he scored the 200th goal of his NHL career in his 850th game.
Couturier's goal was a nice one, too. After receiving a beautiful feed from rookie forward Matvei Michkov, Couturier one-timed it home past Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner.
With this excellent performance against the Oilers, Couturier now has nine goals, 28 points, and a plus-3 rating in 55 games this season.
