The goal was the latest in a career year that's already seen the Philadelphia Flyers forward surpass his previous high of 15 goals set during the 2014-15 campaign.
The 25-year-old wasn't done there, as he would score an empty-netter with 15 seconds remaining to bring his point total to 40, setting a new career high. After just 41 games played, Couturier is on pace for 42 goals and 80 points.
