How well do you know ... Sean Couturier? 11/8

Good morning, everyone.

I hope you're familiar with the rules of "How well do you know...," which is a season-long trivia contest this blog is hosting. A rules refresher: Once a week, I'll ask a Phantoms player five trivia questions from preselected categories and see who gets the most right over the course of the season. Let's begin.
  
I've turned the players' answers white so you can play along at home. To reveal the right answers, highlight the text. Here's Sean Couturier:

The No. 8 pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, Sean Couturier scored 27 points in 77 games with the Philadelphia Flyers last season. He became one of the key contributors to Philadelphia's playoff success, scoring a hat trick and shutting down Evgeni Malkin in a first-round series win over Pittsburgh. Teammate Jaromir Jagr compared him to Ron Francis, calling Couturier the team's best defensive forward -- as a teenager. This season, he's focusing on his offense. He leads the team with eight assists and ranks second on the Phantoms with 10 points in 9 games.
