Travis Konecny scored in his return from injury as the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Utah Mammoth 6-3 on Sunday.
Konecny had missed 10 games with a lower-body injury. He scored 1:06 into the second period and also assisted on a Christian Dvorak goal. Konecny added four hits in his first game back.
Matvei Michkov scored his 10th goal in 17 games. Dvorak and Noah Cates each finished with a goal and an assist, while Oliver Bonk and Cole Knuble also scored for Philadelphia.
Dan Vladar made 19 saves for the Flyers. Philadelphia ended a three-game winless stretch in which it had gone 0-2-1.
Utah received goals from Dmitri Simashev, Mikhail Sergachev and Logan Cooley. Karel Vejmelka stopped 15 shots.
Konecny’s early second-period goal gave Philadelphia momentum after the teams traded opportunities in the opening period. The Flyers used scoring throughout the lineup and protected the lead as Utah attempted to respond.
The result gave Philadelphia a needed win after its recent skid, while Konecny’s immediate contribution provided the clearest sign of his impact after the 10-game absence.
