Tortorella plans to keep Konecny, Michkov together for Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers only came away with one point in their weekend back-to-back but it was the play of a few key forwards that really stood out.

John Tortorella has been tinkering with the Flyers lines since the trade deadline. Travis Konecny and Matvei Michkov are both typically more comfortable on the right side, but the head coach put his two most-talented players back on a line with Sean Couturier this weekend.

Tortorella gave that line a brief look earlier in the season before splitting up Konecny and Michkov. But with the Flyers out of contention and the focus on the future (while also not completely giving up on the season), building some chemistry between the Flyers’ top wingers seems like a great choice.
