After a stellar debut for the duo, the Flyers will now go with Glendening as the primary 4C.  <\/p>\n<p>This season, Couturier has 7 goals and 29 points in 66 games. <\/p>\n<p>When asked about the severity of the injury, Tocchet seemed a little unclear. The Flyers\u2019 bench boss said, \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s a long-term, but I don\u2019t know.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Seems like there are some questions about his immediate availability following Thursday\u2019s game. <\/p>\n<p>Along with Couturier, the Flyers will be without Glendening and Denver Barkey for Thursday\u2019s contest as well. That was announced on Flyers Pregam Live on NBC Sports Philadelphia. No update has been provided on the Glendening and Barkey. One will be given once made available.<\/p>\n<p>Counting Thursday\u2019s game, the Flyers have 15 remaining this season. They are 7 points out of the final spot in the Metropolitan Division, and 8 points out of the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. <\/p>\n<p>Puck drop on Thursday is at 10:30 p.m. EST. <\/p>\n<p>UPDATE<\/p>\n<p>Luke Gledneing is out with a lower-body injury. Denver Barkey\u2019s absence is due to an upper-body injury. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/phillyhockeynow.com\/flyers-game-68-lines-starting-goalie-notes-how-to-watch-kings\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Flyers Game 68: Lines, Notes, &amp; How to Watch @ Kings<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Flyers will be without their captain, Sean Couturier, who is sidelined on Thursday with an upper-body&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":668790,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,68249,282542,282543,112593,1448,2830,1311,3108,108666,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-668789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-america","tag-denver-barkey","tag-flyers-game","tag-flyers-injury","tag-luke-glendening","tag-pa","tag-pennsylvania","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-flyers","tag-sean-couturier","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116260704422310992","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=668789"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668789\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/668790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
