VOORHEES, N.J. — Travis Konecny was back on the ice Sunday after missing the Flyers’ game Saturday night because of an upper-body injury.

But his practice didn’t last long.

The 28-year-old winger had to exit after a shot hit a nerve in his knee.

“Hopefully it wakes up a little bit,” Rick Tocchet said. “It was like a dead leg type of thing, so we’ll see about tomorrow.”

Konecny grimaced as he limped back and forth in the area between the bench and locker room doors. He was tended to by assistant athletic trainers Alex Ambrose and Joe Mele.

The alternate captain eventually went back on the ice to test things out before leaving for the locker room.

Last season, Nick Seeler missed the Flyers’ first five games after taking a puck to the peroneal nerve in his leg.

“I’ve never experienced something like that — leg just kind of shut off for a while,” Seeler said then.

The Flyers really can’t afford to lose Konecny for any period of time. He has 38 points (14 goals, 24 assists) and a plus-14 rating in 42 games. His ironman streak of 143 games came to an end Saturday night.

“He’s a huge piece of our team,” Christian Dvorak said. “He’s an emotional guy out there and he drags us into the fight. We were certainly missing him last game. But injuries happen, so we’ve just got to be able to step up and be better when he’s not out there. Obviously he’s a big part of our club.”

Update: Latest on Flyers’ injuries as Lightning pose another big challenge

The Flyers were missing four players Saturday night and got rolled by the Lightning, 7-2.

“It seems like injuries, even with other teams, they come in bunches; they don’t come every once in a while,” Tocchet said. “You get one, two, three, four in a row, so maybe it’s our turn now, we’re starting to get it. You’ve just got to push through that stuff.”

The Flyers could have Bobby Brink back Monday when they host the Lightning again (7 p.m. ET/NBCSP). The 24-year-old winger, recovering from an upper-body injury, was no longer in a non-contact jersey at practice.

“He looks pretty good to go,” Tocchet said, “but we’ll see.”
