Flyers wingers Travis Konency and Matvei Michkov should, on paper, be a strong force on the ice together. Both have scoring ability. Both seem capable of keeping plays going in the offensive zone, whether working for the puck in the corners or weaving their way methodically into open space. And both had over 20 goals last season for Philadelphia, even if Konecny’s second half of the year was a drastic drop in production. With Sean Couturier down the middle between them, the thought was the line could be a means to get Michkov going while enabling Konecny to have a highly-talented linemate to feed to.
Travis Konecny and Matvei Michkov are probably better off apart in Flyers’ line combinations
