Philadelphia Flyers All-Star Game Representative

If there is any Flyer that deserves a trip to Scotiabank Arena, it is Travis Konecny. The 26-year-old right winger has led his teammates by example this season, tallying 33 points in 37 games played. This will be his second All-Star Weekend. His first appearance was in 2020.

“It’s an awesome opportunity, and it’s really cool. It’s close to home.”

Konecny is also tied for second in the league with Blake Coleman for the most short-handed goals. He currently has four on the season. He also has not gone a single game without a shot.

The news was announced right before puck drop against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Flyers are looking to bounce back from their two-week West Coast road trip. To further demonstrate why he was chosen for All-Star Weekend, he broke the even score at the 17:12 mark during the first period with a nifty tip-in. Joel Farabee and Sean Couturier assisted with the goal.

In the third period, Konecny scored on a backhand to make the score 2-0. Throughout the game, Konecny showed grit and a hunger to generate chances. It wouldn’t be a surprise he was seen taking on two Columbus defenders alone — because he did. Konecny has developed into a leader that the Flyers have needed since Claude Giroux was traded.

The 2024 All-Star Weekend takes place on February 1-3. NHL All-Star Thursday will be held at 1 p.m. on the 1st, NHL All-Star Skills at 7 p.m. on the 2nd, and the NHL All-Star Game at 7 p.m. on the 3rd. All-Star Thursday and All-Star Skills will be available on both ESPN+ and ESPN, and the All-Star Game will be available on ESPN+ and ABC.
