NEWARK, N.J. – When Travis Konecny had an “A” for alternate captain sewn on his jersey last season, it was for good reason. But years before this, his teammates probably would have opted for an “L” because he had already evolved into a leader. The Flyers veteran right wing has elevated his game to a new, higher level this season.

Konecny is the Flyers’ most dangerous and consistent offensive player and his intense disposition and passion have been impossible to miss.

Bobby Brink and Travis Konecny scored in the third period as the Flyers beat the New Jersey Devils 3-1 Saturday.

Sean Couturier had a goal and an assist, Travis Konecny added three assists and the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the New York Islanders 5-3.

NEWARK, N.J. ― And just like that, Travis Konecny is in the top 10. After Thursday night’s three-assist performance in the Flyers’ 5-3 win against the New York Islanders, the spark plug’s 53 points have him tied with Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele.

Any win against a divisional rival is a big deal, but the Philadelphia Flyers’ 5-3 victory over the New York Islanders carried extra weight.
