PHILADELPHIA — Last season, Flyers winger Travis Konecny struggled to put the puck into the back of the net, scoring on a career-low 7.3% of his shots.
But on Tuesday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets at the Wells Fargo Center, Konecny proved that those scoring woes are merely a distant memory.
The 25-year-old Konecny scored twice, once short-handed and once at even strength, to lead the Flyers to a 5-3 victory. Konecny ranks first on the team in goals with 14 this season through 27 games, putting him on a career-best .54 goals-per-game pace. Tuesday marked Konecny’s first multi-goal game of the season since the opener against the New Jersey Devils on Oct. 13 when he also scored twice.
