Travis Konecny has been a thorn in the side of the Boston Bruins this season, putting together multi-point performances in both of the teams' previous matchups. With the Flyers well-rested and likely to face a Bruins backup goaltender, our predictions expect Konecny to make his mark on the scoresheet once again.

Why it matters

Konecny's success against the Bruins this season has been a key factor in the Flyers' ability to compete with one of the Eastern Conference's top teams. As the Flyers push for a playoff spot, Konecny's continued production against Boston could be crucial.

The details

Travis Konecny has been a consistent producer for the Flyers this season, recording a point in 65% of his appearances. That number jumps to 75% when he's had a day of rest, as is the case heading into this matchup. Konecny will also be skating with a strong supporting cast, including Christian Dvorak and rookie Porter Martone, who have controlled 63% of the expected goals at 5-on-5 through three games.

  • The Flyers and Bruins have already met twice this season, with Konecny recording multiple points in both games.
  • This will be the third and final regular-season matchup between the two teams.
