The Philadelphia Flyers will be without their leading scorer for the foreseeable future, as forward Travis Konecny is out indefinitely with a concussion, the team announced Monday.
Konecny was flattened by Ottawa Senators blue-liner Mark Borowiecki on Saturday and was forced to leave the game. No penalty was called on the play.

Konecny had been enjoying a breakout campaign with 28 points in 30 games. The 22-year-old signed a six-year contract during the offseason that carries a $5.5-million cap hit.
