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

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.

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.

Sean Couturier had a goal and an assist, Travis Konecny added three assists and the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the New York Islanders 5-3 on Thursday night. Morgan Frost, Garnet Hathaway, Cam York and Noah Cates also scored for Philadelphia. Samuel Ersson made 26 saves as the Flyers won for the third time in four games.

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.
