Flyers Welcome Back Sean Couturier To Lineup Against Canadiens

Philadelphia Flyers captain Sean Couturier returns to the lineup tonight against the Montreal Canadiens.

Philadelphia Flyers captain Sean Couturier returns to the lineup tonight against the Montreal Canadiens.

Couturier has missed the last two games with an injury. His leadership and experience were missed during the Flyers' previous two losses. Marc Staal and Erik Johnson also return to the lineup tonight in a must-win game.

The Flyers are on a seven-game losing streak and play a Canadiens team that has nothing to play for. The Canadiens sit six points above the Eastern Conference's last-place team, the Columbus Blue Jackets. 

The Flyers are fighting for their playoff lives and need to win tonight regardless of regulation or not. The Detroit Red Wings and Washington Capitals face off tonight in what looks like the game of the night. The worst-case scenario after a Flyers win is if that game goes into overtime and all three teams gain points. 

Here are the Flyers playoff percentages based on what happens tonight:

Tonight, Couturier must prove why he was given the 'C' and lead his team to victory.
