Calgary Flames Assign Lipinski to Giants

Vancouver, B.C. – The Calgary Flames announced this afternoon that forward Jaden Lipinski has been assigned to the Vancouver Giants.

The news comes one day after defenceman Mazden Leslie returned to the Ladner Leisure Centre following Toronto Maple Leafs training camp.

Lipinski, 18, was selected by the Flames in the fourth round of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, 112th overall, and played in the Young Stars Tournament for Calgary from Sept. 14-18, where he scored a goal in three games. He also made his NHL preseason debut last night, suiting up in Calgary when the Flames hosted the Kraken in a split-squad contest.

"Definitely a lot of confidence."

Last season, the Scottsdale, AZ product registered 51 points (19G-32A), which ranked third on the Giants.

Lipinski is expected to be in the Giants lineup this weekend for games against Kamloops (Friday, Sept. 29) and Wenatchee (Sunday, Oct. 1).
