Tippett at Center? Flyers' Desperate Playoff Push

Owen Tippett steps up big for the Flyers, volunteering to play center amid injuries to key pivots like Sean Couturier and with Noah Cates in the box. Coach Rick Tocchet praises his consistency and line-driving ability, especially after Tippett's hot streak on the West Coast sweep that has Philly eyeing a wild-card spot. His eight-year deal looks like a steal now, but with too many wingers and center woes, the front office weighs keeping their do-it-all force as the playoff race tightens.
