Travis Konecny Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Claude Giroux is the only player on the Philadelphia Flyers to eclipse 50 points before the All-Star break. In fact, he's the only player to even put up 40 points in the teams first 48 games as Sean Couturier's 39 points in 46 games sits second on the team. Giroux is also firing the most shots which will give him a solid floor, averaging just under three shots per game. He's centering the top line with James Van Riemsdyk on the left and Travis Konecny on the right. JVR joins him on the top power play unit while Konecny is separated from these two as he plays on the second power play unit. The Flyers take on the Winnipeg Jets who will have the stunningly good backup Laurent Brossoit. Brossoit struggled before coming to Winnipeg, so the Flyers are hoping that is the goalie that shows up tonight. However, this line should be underowned in tournaments considering how well Brossoit has played.

Philadelphia's top line draws a decent matchup tonight against rookie Jordan Binnington who will make his first start in the National Hockey League. The Flyers have been a disaster this season, but the Blues have not been much better all things considered. Travis Konecny scored a goal in his last game and Philadelphia's top line continues to generate far more chances than their opposition. Konecny is cheap across the industry and makes for an interesting target in tournaments.

This is a recording. Claude Giroux is once again leading his team in points with 44 in 38 games with the second most in the team being just 30. He's playing with James Van Riemsdyk and Travis Konecny as the Philadelphia Flyers visit the Nashville Predators in a game in which both teams are on a back to back. Unfortunately neither winger plays on the power play with Giroux so he could be an interesting one-off play if you don't want to stack the entire line.

The top line for the Philadelphia Flyers consisting of Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier and Travis Konecny has been on a tear as of late. Over their last 10 games, Giroux has 3 goals and 13 points, Couturier has put up 5 goals and 12 points while Konecny has 6 goals and 9 points. The Flyers host the Columbus Blue Jackets and the struggling Sergei Bobrovsky. Goalie Bob has been abysmal with a 3.04 GAA and a .901 SV% in a year he's looking to hit a big payday on July 1st. The Flyers should be able to take advantage of this tonight.

The Philadelphia Flyers are at home taking on the Ottawa Senators — a team that is on the tail-end of a back to back. Additionally, the Sens are allowing a league-worst 4.33 goals against per game. Claude Giroux leads the Flyers in points with 28 in 23 games. He's playing on the top line with Sean Couturier and Travis Konecny, a line that could be in for a big game tonight. Couturier and Giroux play on the top power play unit together which gives them full-game correlation and elite upside. Konecny isn't even on the second power play unit right now so that is concerning but I still believe the full-line stack can still benefit greatly at even strength.

The Philadelphia Flyers haven't necessarily been fantastic on the possession end, but their opponent the Anaheim Ducks have been horrendous. In fact, Anaheim sits dead last in the NHL with an abysmal 40.73 CF%. They have somehow remained a .500 team sitting 5-5-2 due to the insane play of John Gibson who has a 2.44 GAA and a .938 SV%. However, the poor defensive play by the Ducks has caught up to Gibson a bit as he allowed nine goals over his last two games. The Flyers have a modest 50.22 CF% which is 15th in the NHL, but they do have plenty of offensive talent and this matchup is premium. Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier and Travis Konecny make up their top line with Giroux and Couturier playing on the top power play unit. This gives them extra correlation if you prefer to just run a mini-stack, but the full-line stack is absolutely in play this evening.

Outside of the Tampa Bay Lightning, the next best spot to target appears to be in the City of Brotherly Love, where the Philadelphia Flyers will host the defensively dreadful New York Rangers. If we pretend like the New York Islanders do not exist, we can say the Blue Shirts have been the worst defensive team in the National Hockey League since the Feb 26th trade deadline, giving away scoring chances and high-danger shot attempts like candy on Halloween, and I think we see the Flyers number one line capitalize tonight at the Wells Fargo Center. In cash games, if you are not paying up for both Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov this evening, I would strongly suggest you grab Claude Giroux, or at the very least Sean Couturier. In tournament play, you could certainly make a case for the Flyers second line tonight as a cheap secondary line stack, however they do not correlate well on the power play, and I do not really see them going off, leaving me with all my Flyers exposure going to the top line, along with power play quarterback Shayne Gostisbehere.

The revolving door at right wing on the Flyers' top line continues as Travis Konecny is the latest to make an appearance alongside Claude Giroux and Sean Couturier. Konecny has made the most of his limited opportunity as he has found a goal and four assists over his last six games. While he does not shoot much, he has benefited greatly from the chemistry Giroux and Couturier have developed this season. Konecny checks in at a stone-cold $3,500 on DraftKings and should be utilized as part of a stack that will surely fly under-the-radar with so many other top lines in more favorable, mouth-watering matchups. (Here's looking at you, Benn/Seguin/Radulov). Don't go overboard with Travis as his ceiling is limited, but he is a worthwhile punt on this somewhat small Saturday night slate.
