Right wing Travis Konecny leads the Flyers with 26 goals and has scored four during his current six-game point streak. Fellow right wing Owen Tippett is second on the club with 21 tallies after converting twice in the loss to the Devils. The 25-year-old has been hot of late, scoring nine goals over his last 13 games.

Why you should back the Blackhawks
Chicago's offense is paced by 18-year-old center Connor Bedard, who leads the club with 17 goals and 39 points despite recently missing 14 games with a broken jaw. The first overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, Bedard has netted two tallies and set up four others in three contests since returning from the injury. Fellow center Jason Dickinson also has scored a personal-best 17 goals and is three points shy from matching the career high of 30 he set last season.
Another player having his best season is Philipp Kurashev, who has matched his career high in goals with nine and set it in points with 32, which ranks him second on the Blackhawks. The 24-year-old Swiss center enters Wednesday's matchup with a six-game point streak during which he has recorded one tally and seven assists. Veteran left wing Nick Foligno also has landed on the scoresheet in six consecutive contests, picking up four goals and three assists during the run. See who to back at SportsLine.
