On a more positive note, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer has confirmed that both
Sean Couturier and
Travis Konecny were present at Flyers practice today and were wearing regular contact jerseys. Couturier, who has been out of action for over a year due to back surgeries, has been making slow but steady progress towards a possible return. Although it remains to be seen whether he will play in any games this season, his presence at practice is an encouraging sign. Konecny, who has been out of action since suffering an upper body injury in late February, has been having an excellent season and is expected to return to the lineup soon. If he does, he could potentially achieve a career-high of 30 goals this season.
