The 25-year-old is off to a fast start under Tortorella with four points in two games, but it is his defensive improvement that has stood out.
during his six years as his coach. Seeing as Tortorella preached the value of work ethic starting with his arrival in Philadelphia, it’s no surprise that Konecny’s effort through camp and the first two games has grabbed his attention.
, Konecny is off to a roaring start under Tortorella. Through two games, Konecny leads the team with three goals and an assist. “I don’t know how well I’m doing,” Konecny said of his comfort level on the penalty kill. “I’m trying to learn as I’m going here. I haven’t done a lot of it. But I definitely feel good. I feel like I’m in the game a lot. It keeps my legs going. However I can help, I just want to keep building and if I can help on the kill, I’ll help on the kill.”
“I think the two best killers are I think Coots [Sean Couturier] and Acts [Atkinson],” Konecny said. “They’re offensive guys. And when you see those guys buying in, blocking shots, and then creating offense off of it, it makes everyone buy in because you realize these guys are doing it, they’re top players, [they] are blocking shots and doing the right things and they’re getting rewarded. So you just follow it.
