Flyers' Travis Konecny: Pots game-winner against Canes
Rotowire
Konecny scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Carolina.
He also added four shots on net, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. Konecny potted his 10th goal of the season on a slick redirection of a Nick Seeler shot from the point inside the final minute of the first period, giving the Flyers a 2-0 lead, and Carter Hart took care of things from there. Despite his early goal-scoring prowess, Konecny only has four assists through 16 games to begin the campaign, but he's rounded out his producion with 52 shots, 32 PIM and a plus-6 rating, an impressive defensive showing for a player who hasn't been in the black in plus-minus since he was a 20-year-old in 2017-18.

Flyers' Travis Konecny: Two goals in losing effort
Rotowire
Konecny scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Ducks.
The Flyers' offense didn't wake up until halfway through the game after the Ducks had already built a 4-0 lead. Konecny still had time to put together another productive outing. The 26-year-old forward has eight goals and 11 points through eight games to begin the season. After racking up personal bests in goals (31) and points (61 points) across only 60 contests last season, Konecny just needs to stay healthy to shatter those marks.

Flyers' Travis Konecny: Set to miss at least 2-3 weeks
Rotowire
Konecny (upper body) is facing at least a 2-3 week absence, though general manager Chuck Fletcher left open the possibility that Konecnys season was over, per Sam Carchidi of Philly Hockey Now Tuesday.
It's a pretty wide range offered by Fletcher but fantasy players can likely expect Konency to be out of action until mid-March in a best-case scenario. With the natural center on the sidelines, Wade Allison has been elevated to a top-six role, though the line combinations figure to be in flux the rest of the season, especially if any players are shipped out before the trade deadline.

Konecny had just recently rediscovered his offensive game with three goals and two assists in his last three contests but now will find himself watching from the press box.
