Konecny will come out of the lineup tonight and Dale Weise will be back in. Konecny has just one assist in his last seven games and will join Shayne Gostisbehere in the press box tonight.
Konecny had two assists in St. Louis on Wednesday, but will sit tonight in San Jose. Konecny has had a solid rookie season, but will come out of the lineup tonight and Michael Raffl will be back in the lineup.
Konecny, 19, was the 24th overall selection in 2015 and made the Flyers’ opening night roster following a great training camp. Konecny had 101 points (30G / 71A) in 60 games between the Ottawa 67’s and Sarnia Sting (OHL) last year and will star this year in the Flyers’ top-6 on a line with Sean Couturier and Jakub Voracek.
