NEWARK, N.J. – When Travis Konecny had an “A” for alternate captain sewn on his jersey last season, it was for good reason. But years before this, his teammates probably would have opted for an “L” because he had already evolved into a leader. The Flyers veteran right wing has elevated his game to a new, higher level this season.

The Flyers' perpetually awful power play and declining penalty kill were mostly to blame in Tuesday's loss to the Maple Leafs.

The Flyers reached the midway point of their season in the middle of the pack. They had battled the Atlantic Division-leading Toronto Maple Leafs to the brink for the second straight game on Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center, yet for the second straight game, they left the ice with a loss, this time 3-2 in regulation.

Sean Couturier scored his 199th NHL goal and Travis Konecny added three assists as the Flyers overcame the first two Islander power play goals in the last fifteen games for a 5-3 win over the Isles before a crowd of 15,761 at UBS Arena.

We are firmly into the second half with a neck-and-neck-and-neck race for the top of the fantasy podium. Connor Hellebuyck will surely start getting some additional rest later in the season, so the race at the top right now is between Nikita Kucherov and Nathan MacKinnon.
