Couturier has been ruled out for Monday's game against New Jersey due to an illness. Couturier has missed just two of the Flyers' first 50 games of the season, but he'll be sidelined for the first time since Dec.

The Flyers beat the Devils for the second time in 10 days by picking up a 4-2 win Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center.

With Couturier being the Flyers' captain and one of their top players, it is certainly tough that he is unable to play against the Devils. However, on the bright side, the Flyers confirmed that fellow key forward Scott Laughton will return to the lineup.

The Flyers face off against the New York Islanders for the third time this month on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m.

Speaking to reporters after the Flyers’ optional morning skate, Scott Laughton said the Flyers “need to get rolling here.” Well, let the good times roll. The Flyers had a wire-to-wire 4-2 win against the New Jersey Devils.

The Philadelphia Flyers opened a home-and-home set against the New Jersey Devils with a 4-2 win at Wells Fargo Center on Monday evening.

The Devils got the Flyers this time. John Tortorella’s club was handed a 5-0 loss by New Jersey on Wednesday night at the Prudential Center. Samuel Ersson was pulled a little after the midway mark of the game.

Travel really hasn’t been that big of a deal either. In last week’s back-to-back, the Flyers played at the Rangers on Thursday and the Islanders on Friday. That’s only a 30-minute bus ride between venues and they lost both games by a combined score of 9-2.

The Philadelphia Flyers wrapped up a home-and-home set against the New Jersey Devils with a split. After a 4-2 home win on Monday, the Fyers sustained a 5-0 loss at Prudential Center on Wednesday evening.

The Flyers, who currently rank 19th on the PK, finished fourth last season and led the NHL with 16 shorthanded goals.

A hard hit on Flyers wing Owen Tippett by Devils defenseman Brenden Dillon in the first period might have gotten the Flyers off their game somewhat. No penalty was called on the play, which resulted in the Flyers trying to exact revenge throughout the first half of the game action.
