The Flyers have three preseason games remaining and it may take general manager Ron Hextall that long before he decides whether speedy winger Travis Konency and/or defenseman Ivan Provorov earn roster spots.
Both continued to state their cases Saturday night in the Flyers' 4-3 shootout loss to Boston at the Wells Fargo Center.
Provorov made a perfect stretch pass to a streaking Jordan Weal in the neutral zone, setting up the center's breakaway goal to tie the game at 2-2 with 13 minutes, 21 seconds left in the second period.
"When the puck went to Provy, I looked up and saw they were trying to make a line change, so I thought I'd go," Weal said.
