Tocchet Defends Konecny as Flyers Eye a Spark in Game 3

Flyers fell 3-2 in overtime to the Hurricanes in Game 2, wasting a 2-0 lead and now trail the series 2-0. Konecny missed a late OT breakaway, but coach Rick Tocchet said others also had Grade A chances and stressed they need Konecny in Game 3 in Philadelphia. Tippett is out with an undisclosed injury, and Philadelphia’s scoring has been sparse, with Konecny posting 1 goal and 3 assists in eight playoff games as the team looks for an offensive spark.

Porter Martone to Make NHL Debut on Flyers’ Top Line Against Capitals

Porter Martone will debut for the Philadelphia Flyers against the Washington Capitals, lining up on the right wing with Christian Dvorak at center and Travis Konecny on the left. He’ll also be on the Flyers’ first power-play unit alongside Trevor Zegras, Noah Cates, Konecny, and Rasmus Ristolainen, while Matvei Michkov moves to the second unit and Alex Bump is scratched. Denver Barkey, Owen Tippett, and the rest of the lineup round out the attack, and Philadelphia needs two points to stay in the playoff hunt with a 7:00 p.m. puck drop.

Controversy Surrounds Canucks' Pride Jersey as Player Opts Out

Vancouver Canucks forward Andrei Kuzmenko did not wear the team's Pride night warmup jersey on Friday, citing it as a "family decision." Kuzmenko is the latest Russian NHL player to opt-out of wearing the special jersey due to concerns about Russia's anti-gay laws. Canucks coach Rick Tocchet confirmed that Kuzmenko skipped the pregame warm-up, while the rest of the team wore the jerseys. Other NHL teams have faced similar situations this season, with some players citing religious beliefs and security concerns.
