John Tortorella declined to address whether captain Sean Couturier will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes after spending their previous game as a healthy scratch.

"I'm not talking about Sean," Tortorella interjected midway through a question on what he'd need to see from Couturier if he dresses. “Obviously, he’s our captain … but we have a job to do and a game to play and we are in the thick of the playoff race right now, so our focus is on winning hockey games,”

"Somewhat, but it doesn’t matter honestly what I think," Couturier said. "Just gotta leave my ego aside, I guess, and hopefully the team finds a way to get a win here tonight, and I can get back into it soon." General manager Daniel Briere said the decision falls in line with Tortorella's mantra of treating all players the same, regardless of their status.
