Tippett will make his NHL debut on Tuesday.
Tippett was the No.10 overall pick in this summer’s draft and tonight he will debut on the Panthers’ third line. The 18-year-old winger had 75 points (44G / 31A) in 60 games with Mississauga (OHL) last season and will play with Jared McCann and Jamie McGinn tonight.
Sanheim is expected to be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Acciari underwent surgery to repair a left index finger fracture; expected to miss six weeks.
Acciari fractured his finger during the second period of the Bruins’ opening night win over the Predators. The 25-year-old will be sidelined until approximately mid-November and his injury opens the door for Austin Czarnik to get into the lineup on Saturday.
Sanheim will make his NHL debut on Thursday.
Sanheim was a healthy scratch in the first game of the season, but will replace Brandon Manning in game No.2 of the season. Sanheim had some dominant games during the preseason and had 37 points (10G / 27A) in 76 games with Lehigh Valley (AHL) a season ago.
The Panthers signed Owen Tippett to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Senators have signed Nate Thompson to a two-year extension worth $3.3M ($1.65M AAV).
The Bruins have signed Noel Acciari to a two-year, $1.45M extension ($725K AAV).
Acciari, 25, is a hard-hitting bottom-6 forward who had five points (2G / 3A) in 29 games with the Bruins and added 14 points (6G / 8A) in 30 AHL games with Providence. Acciari will likely break training camp in a Boston uniform.
The Florida Panthers select Owen Tippett with the No.10 overall pick.
Tippett might be the best pure goal scorer in this draft class. He has great quickness and an NHL-level shot that saw him lead the Mississauga Steelheads in both goals (44) and points (75).
