Konecny, who scored the Flyers’ opening goal in the game, and leads the team with 27 goals and 54 points, was in visible pain after being checked from behind by Flames defenseman MacKenzie Weegar.
After staying down initially, Konecny skated off the ice with a noticeable slump before heading down the tunnel to the locker room. He did not join his teammates for the start of the third period and the Flyers later announced that he was unlikely to return to the game with an “upper-body” injury.
