Travis Konecny’s return to the Philadelphia Flyers’ lineup might be short-lived.
He was a healthy scratch for two games, but he got the nod on Monday - while Shayne Gostisbehere remains in street clothes - against the St. Louis Blues. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury during the second period and will not return.
Flyers GM Ron Hextall said that an update will likely come on Tuesday.
The Flyers didn’t specify much beyond that, yet it could be a lower-body injury if this was the moment he got hurt. It certainly looked painful:

Yikes. Tough night for the Flyers so far, who currently trail the Blues 2-0 about midway through the third.
It may also be a shoulder issue, by the way:
Konecy injured going into the boards. He was holding his shoulder limping off ice but the brunt of injury was to his left knee and ankle.
