RALEIGH, N.C. — Owen Tippett<\/a> did not play for the Philadelphia Flyers in a 3-0 loss against the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Second Round at Lenovo Center on Saturday because of an undisclosed injury.<\/p>\n

The forward took part in an optional morning skate but did not take warmups and is considered day to day.<\/p>\n

Tippett also did not practice Friday, with coach Rick Tocchet calling it a maintenance day and saying his availability would be a game-time decision.<\/p>\n

“They’ve all been game times with him,” Tocchet said then. “We’ve got to just continue that mode.”<\/p>\n

Tippett matched his NHL career best with 28 goals in 81 regular-season games but had two points (one goal, one assist) in six games against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round.<\/p>\n

With Tippett out, Alex Bump<\/a> moved into his spot on a line with Trevor Zegras<\/a>\u00a0and Porter Martone<\/a>, and Garnet Hathaway<\/a> returned to the lineup after being scratched for the 1-0 overtime win in Game 6 against the Penguins.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes played without defenseman Alexander Nikishin<\/a>, who sustained a concussion in Game 4 of the first round against the Ottawa Senators.<\/p>\n

Nikishin took part in the morning skate, and coach Rod Brind’Amour said Nikishin was close to being cleared to play.<\/p>\n

“I think ‘Nikki’ still has got to clear a test today, so we’ll see on that,” he said. “He’s been practicing with us so we’ll see.”<\/p>\n

Nikishin averaged 16:31 of ice time in four games against the Senators.<\/p>\n

With Nikishin out, Mike Reilly<\/a>\u00a0played his first game of the postseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RALEIGH, N.C. — Owen Tippett did not play for the Philadelphia Flyers in a 3-0 loss against the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620503,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-620502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620502"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620502\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
