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.

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.

The Philadelphia Flyers haven't had great success with first-round draft picks, but Travis Konecny was the Great Steal of 2015 and should've been a quarter-century player.

He’s the scrappy, fearless winger whose combination of grit and skill has endeared him to fans in orange and black. But despite being the Flyers' undisputed star, Konecny has long toiled in the shadows of broader NHL stardom.

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

It's clear that the Flyers still aren't happy about being spurned by Cutter Gauthier, and he was challenged by Travis Konecny.

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

The Philadelphia Flyers are likely to see a fourth player from their organization participate in the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off. Following an injury to Swedish goaltender Jacob Markstrom, Flyers starter Sam Ersson is reportedly set to join Sweden as an injury replacement.

Last night, the New York Rangers defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 6-1 at Madison Square Garden, improving their record to 24-20-4, while the Flyers fell to 22-21-6.

The Flyers are rocking and rolling. With their latest win, a 2-1 overtime victory against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday, Philly’s hockey club has achieved a season-high six-game point streak, which includes five wins.

Off. A team source for Sweden recently confirmed to The Inquirer that Sam Ersson is next in the pecking order if any of the nation’s three selected goalies cannot participate due to injury. And things are not looking good for Tre Kronor.
