Daily News | Flyers center Sean Couturier listed as ‘week to week’ after suffering ‘upper-body’ injury
On Sept. 12, Flyers center Sean Couturier sat in front of the media and, with a big smile on his face,to get back on the ice after missing most of last season with a back injury that required surgery. Now, he’s injured again, and training camp hasn’t even started yet.
Although training camp doesn’t officially start until Thursday, most of the team has been participating in unofficial skates and working out at the Flyers Training Center in Voorhees since around Labor Day. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, Couturier reportedly felt pain in his back while participating in one of those sessions within the last few days.
When Couturier spoke last week, he said he had lots of ups and downs, even through the summer. He said he had to be really careful not to push himself too far and to let himself heal properly. However, when he returned to Philadelphia, the doctors cleared him to play. The conversation led Couturier to believe that the injury would not continue to be a problem.
“We feel pretty confident, or I should say quite confident, that Couturier and [Kevin] Hayes will be able to bounce back,” general manager Chuck Fletcher said after addressing the first day of free agency. “Right now, as an organization, the most important thing that we have to do is stabilize. We’ll be a much-improved team. We’ll be a competitive team.”
