Flyers coach Dave Hakstol refused to say whether Sean Couturier would be in the lineup Wednesday night, but hints dropped by his players made it seem as if the top-line center won’t play in Game 4 against visiting Pittsburgh.
The players talked about teammates’ having to step up their games if Couturier can’t play, and captain Claude Giroux mentioned how Ville Leino stepped in and starred in the 2010 playoffs after injuries put him into the lineup.
Hakstol said Couturier would be a game-time decision.
“It’s not about any one player here,” Hakstol said.
