Kyle Ross-USA TODAY Sports - Travis Konecny Scores First Period Gordie Howe Hat Trick

Travis Konecny went from being stuck in a scoring rut to two goals in as many games, with his most recent goal being part of a Gordie Howe hat trick.

The Flyers' were off to a roaring start against the Winnipeg Jets, finishing the first period with a comfortable 3-0 lead. Konecny netted the second goal of the game.

In classic Konecny fashion, he didn't hesitate to drop the gloves and do a full takedown of the Jets' Neal Pionk to get his first fight of the night. And, of course, there was plenty of chirping afterwards.

Officially on Gordie Howe hat trick watch, Konecny rounded off the requirements with a secondary assist on Morgan Frost's goal, the third of the period.

This is Konecny's second Gordie Howe hat trick (his first came against the Rangers), and the first one achieved by a Flyers player since 2020.
