Daily News | Travis Konecny snaps goalless drought but is still searching for more after Flyers’ underwhelming February so far
VANCOUVER — Deep in a 5-0 hole on Thursday night against the Seattle Kraken, Flyers winger Travis Konecny temporarily stopped the bleeding, chipping in a pair of goals in the third period. WhileKonecny snapped a 13-game goalless drought dating back to Jan. 11, when he tallied a hat trick against the Washington Capitals. The skid was familiar territory for Konecny — last season, he went 20 games between goals, from Nov. 20, 2021 to Jan. 15, 2022.
To dig himself out of the scoring hole against the Kraken, Konecny made an effort to get back to the dirty areas of the ice. Fourteen seconds into the third period, Konecny deflected a Noah Cates long shot past Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer from the front of the net. Over 13 minutes later, Konecny scored from the goal line near the post on a rebound from a Cates shot that bounced off of the end boards.
Konecny, for the first time in his career, also is a fixture on the penalty kill. He has racked up 98 shorthanded minutes on ice this season while chipping in three shorthanded goals. Plus, Konecny has become more of a leader in his seventh season with the Flyers. Now, Konecny is looking to take some of the scoring momentum he established in an otherwise dreadful game against the Kraken into the remainder of the western Canada road trip, starting Saturday night against the Vancouver Canucks.Given the Flyers’ lousy effort and execution against the Kraken, defenseman Tony DeAngelo knew he and his teammates were in for a doozy of a practice on Friday.
