Travis Konecny appears to have suffered an injury in his return to the Philadelphia Flyers lineup after sitting two games as a healthy scratch.
The rookie forward was forced to leave Monday's game against St. Louis after an awkward collision and fall into the corner. General manager Ron Hextall announced Konecny would not return and an update will be offered Tuesday.
It appears to be a lower-body injury:
