FHN Today: Owen Tippett ready to battle at Flyers camp

Although it appears that Owen Tippett has a secure job with the Philadelphia Flyers following last season’s blockbuster deal, he’s not taking anything for granted.

Speaking to Philly Hockey Now after an informal skate in the Philadelphia area, the former Florida Panthers prospect said he is going into training camp as if he has to make this team.

“Obviously there are no guarantees and you have to work for your spot, no matter the situation you’re in,’’ Tippett told PHN.

”But I would say this year is kind of the first year I have that confidence coming in, knowing I’m not on my entry-level anymore (and can be a regular). Like I said, the work stays the same and you still have to work every day as if you’re trying to make the team and improve your spot.”

Tippett, 23, was a big piece in the trade that sent Claude Giroux to Florida last March.

Per PHN, he is likely going to start the season as Philadelphia’s third-line right winger.
