The Philadelphia Flyers selected Drummondville Voltigeur centerman Sean Couturier with the eighth-overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft on Friday night.
An 18-year-old French-Canadian who was born in Phoenix, Couturier registered 36 goals and 96 points in 58 games, his third season in Canadian juniors -- a season which was abbreviated due to a bout of mononucleosis.
Over 184 games in the "Q" since 2008, the son of former NHLer Sylvain Couturier has posted 86 goals and 223 points.
