The Philadelphia Flyers have made rookie Travis Konecny a healthy scratch for Friday's game versus the San Jose Sharks, Philly.com's Sam Carchidi reports.

Coach Dave Hakstol told Carchidi that his benching is meant to be a "learning experience," and that Konecny must clean up the details in his game.

Overall, the tenacious winger's been a positive influence, and has left onlookers wondering how he fell to Philadelphia late in the first round.

Konecny picked up his 13th and 14th assists in Wednesday's loss to St. Louis, moving him into a tie for seventh in rookie scoring with 18 points, but hasn't scored in 22 games.

The Flyers sat young defender Shayne Gostisbehere, citing a similar rationale, earlier on this season.
