Not the best of news for the Philadelphia Flyers coming out of Raleigh on Saturday. The team held an optional morning skate at the Lenovo Center. Per voices in Raleigh, there was a good amount of players in attendance.
One of those skaters was Owen Tippett, who missed Friday’s practice in Voorhees for “maintenance” per Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet.
During morning skate, many of the regular starters came off the ice, and Tippett remained out there for a long while after, per NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jordan Hall.
This brings yesterday’s practice back into conversation where Tocchet said, “He’s not out,” in reference to Alex Bump, who skated in Tippett’s place at practice.
Bump was not at Saturday’s morning skate, which oftentimes is an indicator that a player will be in for the game.
Tocchet did say that Tippett will be a “game-time decision” throughout this series, just like the last.
No update was given on Tippett’s status after morning skate.
Tippett has been playing through things in the playoffs, so if there were a time for him to take a rest, a Game 1 is certainly the time to do so.
Will Tippett be out for Game 1, or is Tocchet playing games early in the series?
