Owen Tippett and Travis Konecny completed a second consecutive full practice Saturday, giving the Philadelphia Flyers two possible reinforcements for Sunday’s home game against the Utah Mammoth.

Coach Rick Tocchet said both forwards could be options to play Sunday, according to NHL.com. Neither return has been confirmed.

Tippett has missed six games with an upper-body injury, while a lower-body injury has kept Konecny out for 10 games. Both remain on injured reserve.
