The Flyers are trying to win four consecutive games for the first time in over two years Thursday when they host the Mammoth (7 p.m. ET/NBCSP).

They’ll have to do so without Travis Konecny and Nick Seeler.

Konecny was on the ice at morning skate, but he’ll miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. The Flyers’ leading scorer has been considered day to day.

Seeler missed morning skate after suffering a lower-body injury in the Flyers’ 3-2 shootout win Monday night over the Maple Leafs. This will be the first game he has missed all season.

The 32-year-old defenseman has been playing a career-high 18:21 minutes per game.

“Great teammate, does a lot of things the right way, plays hard,” Travis Sanheim said. “Obviously we’re going to miss him on the back end and guys have got to step up.”

One guy who stepped up in Toronto was Rasmus Ristolainen. He played 27:14 minutes alongside Sanheim and recorded a plus-1 rating, five shots and two blocked shots.

“I think last game, that’s the best I’ve seen Risto break out pucks,” Sanheim said. “I didn’t have to do a whole lot, he was breaking them out by himself. He has been fun to play with and it’s really easy to work with him.”

For various reasons, Ristolainen is the Flyers’ biggest trade chip leading up to Friday’s 3 p.m. ET deadline. The team’s locker room, though, isn’t too wrapped up in the trade buzz. After all, this isn’t new territory for Ristolainen.

“I think for some guys, it can be tough mentally to handle,” Sean Couturier said Tuesday. “It just adds pressure, adds maybe a distraction, but overall as a group, it’s not something we talk about. We just focus on playing hockey, playing for one another and try to get wins. That’s all we can control.”

Here’s how the Flyers’ lineup looked at morning skate.

The Flyers have made things interesting at the deadline by picking up at least a point in six of their last seven games (4-1-2). They’ve gone 3-1-0 following the Olympic break.

At 28-21-11 and with 22 games to go, the Flyers are six points back of the Bruins, who hold the Eastern Conference’s second wild-card spot.

“I think going into the break, we knew we were going to have to string together some good games,” Sanheim said. “We’ve done that coming out of the break and we just want to continue that. You just never know, there are a lot of teams in the same situation and somebody’s got to get in.”

Utah is in the Western Conference’s first wild-card position at 32-25-4. However, the Mammoth have been a different team on the road at 14-15-2.

“Tonight’s game, desperate team we’re playing, they’re trying to make the playoffs, it’s a good hockey team,” Rick Tocchet said. “We’ve won three straight. Yeah, great, but just worry about tonight. It’s a playoff game atmosphere, we should act that way and we’ll see what happens tonight.”
