After being benched the last two games, rookie left winger Travis Konecny will return to the lineup Monday night against visiting St. Louis.
Winger Matt Read will be a healthy scratch. Ditto second-year defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, who will sit for the third straight game.
“It’s tough because a guy has to come out and they’re playing good,” Konecny said after Monday’s morning skate in Voorhees, “but I’m obviously happy I’m in the lineup and hopefully I can learn from what happened and have a good game tonight.”
