Daily News | ‘I’m trying to get to that shot-first mentality’: Travis Konecny and Flyers’ second line looking to reset
, interim coach Mike Yeo broke up the Flyers’ second line of Scott Laughton, Travis Konecny, and Oskar Lindblom. Not only was that line responsible for four of the five minor penalties committed by the Flyers, but they were also on the ice for one of Edmonton’s goals.» READ MORE:“They’ve had some one and done chances, but not as much sustained pressure,” Yeo said after the game. “All three guys are extremely important players.
“I definitely think when you get to a certain point, let’s say you’re feeling good, you’re feeling like you’re hot, you’re getting a lot of puck luck, you might just have the tendency to shoot the puck a little bit more with that confidence,” Konecny said. “I’m trying to get to that shot-first mentality.”
In 51 games this season, Konecny has 136 shots on goal, whereas last season in 50 games, Konecny registered 100 shots on goal. However, Konecny’s 5.9 shooting percentage this season — a career low — pales in comparison to last year’s 11.0%. “Obviously, we have to rely on G [Claude Giroux], we have to rely on Cam [Atkinson] and some of our older players, but this next wave of players, this is a group that has to really take a step here going forward, in this last 29 games in the season,” Yeo said. ”The [Travis] Sanheims, the [Ivan] Provorovs, the Lindbloms, the Konecnys, the [Joel] Farabees.”The Flyers loaned rookie forward Isaac Ratcliffe to the Phantoms on Thursday morning, putting his NHL career on hold for the moment.
