Travis Konecny Extends Point Streak to Three Games in Loss
5 years agoPhiladelphia Flyers forward Travis Konecny picked up a power-play assist in Saturday's loss to the Canucks, giving him six points in his team's first three games. Despite operating on the second power-play unit, Konecny has notched a power-play point in three straight games now. His lack of shot production (2.33 shots per game) or high usage (16:37 average time on ice) this season suggests that his hot start should taper off soon, making him an ideal sell-high candidate this early in the season. At only 22 years-old, Konecny could have a higher ceiling than the 50 points that he flirted with each of the last two seasons, but until he sees more than the sixth most time on ice among Philadelphia forwards, it will be difficult for him to reach that.
