Owen Tippett finished out his preseason with the Florida Panthers having tallied four points in five preseason games. Three of those points were goals, with a three-game scoring streak against Dallas and Tampa Bay twice.
These games were Tippett’s first NHL-level games since 2017 when Tippett debuted for the Panthers. In those games, Tippett scored just one goal and was promptly sent down after just seven games.
Tippett’s game has always been goalscoring, and he certainly did that this September. He followed up his first goal against Dallas with a multi-point game at home in a 6-3 win over Tampa Bay before scoring once more in a 4-2 loss.
