Fantasy Summary
A physical, big-bodied center that plays a good two-way game and can contribute to the power play and the penalty kill. Projects as a bottom-six forward.
Observations
March 2026 – Lipinski is in his freshman year at Maine, where he has 12 points in 30 games in a depth role – modest production, though he is tied for the team lead in game-winning goals, which suggests a competitive instinct that doesn’t always show up on the scoresheet. The 6-3 center had a handful of Wranglers audition games over the past two seasons so another evaluation stint with Calgary’s AHL affiliate before the season ends would not be surprising. Ryan Downey
June 2025 – Lipinski committed to playing for the Maine Black Bears during the 2025-26 NCAA season. His status with the Calgary Flames is pending a league and NHLPA resolution on player expiry rights that commit to the NCAA after their junior careers. Mark Henry
June 2023 – The Calgary Flames drafted Lipinski in the fourth round (112th overall) in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. Mark Henry
