Fact: Sean Couturier has scored 4 out of his 5 goals in garbage time. He scored last night to put the Flyers ahead 6-0, and then again to put them ahead 9-1. He scored against Ottawa to put Phily ahead 5-1. And he scored against the Caps to make the score 5-2 in favour of Washington. He has rarely been on the ice for offensive situations this year. They are making him a penalty killer.
No, I meant this year -- could he play in Bingo when the SEL season is done? It's only a 55-game season.
As for Couturier, he's putting the puck in the net, as a defensive player. He's showing some skill. He's stuck around on a contending team.
Edit: I really hate saying this, but you could say Zibanejad scored 0 of his 0 goals in game winning situations.
Nah he's not shown any offensive burst at all (Couturier I mean). That team is stacked, I mean Maxime Talbot also has 8 pts...
The only guy who is really tearing it from that draft is the 1st overall pick. He's the definition of "making guys around better" and probably the MVP on the offense already.
