With Kolosov suddenly suffering an injury and Samuel Ersson also injured, the Flyers only had one available goaltender on their NHL roster. Now they have Konin as a backup in case Ivan Fedotov gets injured.

Konin is currently the relief backup in Tampa Bay, where the Flyers play Thursday night. He last suited up as a backup fullback for the Bolts during the 2023-24 campaign.
