The Philadelphia Flyers, like the Bruins, are in that race for the second wild card spot. They are currently in that spot, with 59 points. Coach Dave Hakstol questionably has sit defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere for the last 3 games. Hakstol also sat RW Travis Konecny for 2 games, but decided that he would play in Monday's game vs. St. Louis. But in that game, Konecny sustained an injury, which will keep him out of the lineup for about 4-6 weeks. The 19 year old is in his first season in the NHL, with 7 goals, 15 assists (22 points) in 51 games this season. He is a -4 in those games. He could have been returned to the Ottawa 67's, his OHL team, before 9 NHL games, so 1 year off his entry level contract wasn't wasted, but it was. LW Matt Read, who sat for Konecny Monday, will play in Thursday's game against the New York Islanders. So far, no one has been called up from AHL Lehigh Valley, but forward options to recall are Jordan Weal, Scott Laughton, Colin McDonald, or Taylor Leier.
