Flyers’ Couturier out four weeks with injury

Philadelphia Flyers centre Sean Couturier is out four weeks after suffering a knee injury for the second time in five months. General manager Ron Hextall provided the update Wednesday, saying Couturier was injured Aug. 10 in an exhibition game. Hextall expects Couturier to be a limited participant in training camp when the Flyers get on the ice Sept. 14 and for him to be full go halfway in. Hextall said it’s not the same injury the 25-year-old suffered when he damaged the medial collateral ligament in his right knee during the playoffs when he collided with teammate Radko Gudas in practice. Couturier set career highs last season with 31 goals and 45 assists.
