Daily News | Flyers experimenting with Owen Tippett and Travis Konecny on ‘dangerous’ same line
to Dallas, he split Tippett up from Konecny. He placed Tippett back on the right wing with Noah Cates at left wing and Kevin Hayes at center. In the final frame, Tortorella saw Tippett play his best minutes. Tortorella wasn’t sure if that was because Tippett felt more comfortable on the right side or if his mindset shifted toward being more of a difference-maker.
Against the Stars, the Tippett-Cates-Konecny line generated six shot attempts and was on the ice for nine,. They created three scoring chances and were on the ice for four. On Tuesday night against the Blues, Tippett and Konecny had both Cates and Morgan Frost as their center at times throughout the night. With Cates, they generated eight shot attempts and were on the ice for eight against . With Frost, they generated nine shot attempts and were on the ice for five against .
“I think mentally it’s just getting out of the habits of always coming back on the right side in the D zone and stuff like that,” Tippett said. “But for the most part, it’s the same position. It can change little things here and there. And where and when you get the puck and where you’re facing when you get the puck. So it can change little things like that.”
Tippett won’t be the only player getting a look on the left side over the final four games of the season. Tortorella said he wants to try Allison at left wing for at least part of Saturday’s game against the New York Islanders. While Tippett may not have an abundance of experience on the left side, he understands the experiment and is up to the challenge.
