Tortorella Continues To Make Bold Moves Scratching His Captain For The 2nd Time

Philadelphia Flyers coach John Tortorella isn't holding back, scratching captain Sean Couturier for the second consecutive game.

After a surprising win against the Toronto Maple Leafs without Couturier, Tortorella is sticking to his decision.

The move raised eyebrows during Tuesday's game against the Leafs, but it paid off for the Flyers. Couturier's response to being benched last game wasn't favorable, adding intrigue to tonight's matchup.

The Flyers face the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at 7 pm EST, with playoff hopes hanging in the balance.
