Overview
- The Flyers announced mid-game that captain Sean Couturier would not return against Nashville.
- He appeared hurt after blocking a shot near his left elbow, briefly returned late in the first period, then was ruled out.
- Philadelphia reshuffled its forwards with Trevor Zegras taking more center reps, a notable shift given Couturier’s nine points in nine games.
- Vancouver’s Brock Boeser left after being struck in the midsection by a teammate’s slap shot, and the team had not provided an official update on his status.
- Columbus recalled defenseman Dysin Mayo from AHL Cleveland with Erik Gudbranson day-to-day, and Colorado called up Wyatt Aamodt for additional depth.
