The Flyers home opener is currently being played tonight at the Wells Fargo Center. In Couturier’s first home opener as Captain of the franchise. Flyers’ Head Coach John Tortorella has demoted Couturier to the fourth line. Here are the lines and pairings below:
Tippett-Frost-Michkov
Farabee-Laughton-Konecny
Foerster-Luchanko-Brink
Couturier-Poehling-Hathaway
York-Sanheim
Zamula-Ristolainen
Johnson-Drysdale
Ersson
Couturier is playing in his 800th career NHL game, so it comes as a shocker he has been demoted.
Alexei Kolosov
Kolosov is playing once again tonight for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. This comes as a shocker to me, seeings he played last night against the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins in the 4-3 loss. Hopefully, he plays well tonight, and gives Flyers fans some trust that they have a quality backup netminder, in the event that Ivan Fedotov continues to struggle.
