Travis Konecny had to leave the Flyers' practice Sunday after a shot hit a nerve in his knee.
We have Rick Tocchet’s full press conference coming off the Flyers’ 7-2 loss Saturday night to the Lightning. VOORHEES, N.J. — Travis Konecny was back on the ice Sunday after missing the Flyers' game Saturday night because of an upper-body injury.
"Hopefully it wakes up a little bit," Rick Tocchet said."It was like a dead leg type of thing, so we'll see about tomorrow." Konecny grimaced as he limped back and forth in the area between the bench and locker room doors. He was tended to by assistant athletic trainers Alex Ambrose and Joe Mele. The alternate captain eventually went back on the ice to test things out before leaving for the locker room.Last season, Nick Seeler missed the Flyers' first five games after taking a puck to the peroneal nerve in his leg. The Flyers really can't afford to lose Konecny for any period of time. He has 38 points and a plus-14 rating in 42 games. His ironman streak of 143 games "He's a huge piece of our team," Christian Dvorak said."He's an emotional guy out there and he drags us into the fight. We were certainly missing him last game. But injuries happen, so we've just got to be able to step up and be better when he's not out there. Obviously he's a big part of our club." "It seems like injuries, even with other teams, they come in bunches; they don't come every once in a while," Tocchet said."You get one, two, three, four in a row, so maybe it's our turn now, we're starting to get it. You've just got to push through that stuff." The Flyers could have Bobby Brink back Monday when they host the Lightning again . The 24-year-old winger, recovering from an upper-body injury, was no longer in a non-contact jersey at practice.
