Travis Konecny was dropped to the fourth line for Tuesday’s game against Toronto, but the speedy Flyers winger didn’t view it as a demotion.
Entering the 4-2 comeback win over the Maple Leafs, he had one goal in his last 19 games.
“It’s not a demotion at all,” he said after Wednesday’s practice in Voorhees. “We have four steady lines in here, and we all play in every situation. There’s not one line that is particularly the fourth line. I think everyone plays the same amount of minutes.”
As it turned out, Konecny’s line, with Scott Laughton and Taylor Leier, played the fewest minutes, but it frustrated Toronto with its quickness and had numerous scoring chances.
