Daily News | Flyers’ Cam Atkinson cleared for contact, participates in first full practice since training camp
Listed at 5-foot-8, 176 pounds, winger Cam Atkinson shows no deference to the concept of picking on someone your own size.
“Just good to be back with the guys and battling and going through a lovely Torts practice like that was,” Atkinson said. “He’s been skating and I think the best type of conditioning you get is within games,” Tortorella said. “So I think you get into quicker shape that way. So he’s been doing a lot of work off the ice, a lot of work on the ice, but not so much with his hands and all that. All of them. TK, James, all those guys have been doing a lot of skating. So I don’t think it will be a problem.”
Konecny appeared to injure his right hand against the Boston Bruins on Nov. 17 and has been out since. On Nov. 22, Fletcher announced that Konecny is expected to. He participated in a rehab skate on Monday with van Riemsdyk. If their rehab continues on a positive trend, both players could potentially return to the lineup in early December.
