EDMONTON, Alberta — After exiting Monday’s game early against the Calgary Flames, Flyers leading scorer Travis Konecny has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game vs. the Edmonton Oilers with an upper-body injury.
Konecny, who leads the team in goals (27) and points (54), took a heavy hit from behind from Calgary defenseman MacKenzie Weegar along the boards in the second period against the Flames. He curled up along the boards in visible pain until the play stopped, eventually getting to his feet and gingerly skating off. From there, Konecny headed straight down the tunnel and did not return for the rest of the contest. According to The Athletic’s Julian McKenzie, he was seen wearing a sling after the game.
