Lipsett sees considerable ice time as part of both the Mallards' power play and penalty killing units. The fourteenth year pro is tied for second on the team with eight power play goals and leads Quad City with two shorthanded goals
Lipsett has this season topped 25 goals
for the eighth time in his career and for the fourth time in the
last four seasons. Lipsett has now scored 330 goals and collected
347 assists for 677 points in 815 career games. The Ottawa native
has played 14 teams in nine leagues on two continents since
completing a standout four year collegiate career at
Clarkson.
