Flyers' Owen Tippett: Reaches 30-point mark
Rotowire
Tippett collected a goal and an assist in a 4-3 loss to Seattle on Sunday.
Tippett opened the scoring just 2:11 into the game. He has 15 goals and 30 points in 50 contests this season. Tippett was held off the scoresheet in his previous three games.
Tippett scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over Winnipeg.
He had a secondary assist on Noah Cates first-period goal and then pushed the score to 3-0 on a breakaway snipe early in the third. Tippett snapped an eight-game goal drought, but has just two in his last 14 games. He does have four points (one goal, three assists) in his last four games, though. Tippett has been slow to develop and may never live up to his 10th overall draft status (2017). But he could be a solid middle-six guy.

Flyers' Owen Tippett: Two points in win over Caps
Rotowire
Tippett had a goal, a power-play assist and six shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.
Tippett notched his fourth multi-point performance in the past 10 games, though he's produced only one assist in his other six appearances during this stretch. The 23-year-old winger's skating on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit for the rebuilding Flyers, and Tippett has already set career highs in goals (13) and points (23). It took the former first-round pick of the Panthers a few years to find his game at the highest level, but Tippett's breakout season is finally upon us.

Rotowire
Tippett scored a goal on three shots and supplied an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sharks.

Flyers' Owen Tippett: Scores against former team
Rotowire
Tippett scored a goal and picked up an assist against Florida on Sunday.
Tippett appears to have found his offensive game of late with two goals, 10 shots and one assist in his last four contests. With the raft of injuries for the Flyers, Tippett has been pressed into a top-six role, which likely is also contributing to his recent performances. On the year, Tippett needs to score just two more goals to match the career-best total he set last season playing for Florida and Philadelphia.
Tippett provided a goal in Monday's 5-3 win against Colorado.
Tippett had been held off the scoresheet in his previous seven games, but now that he's put that prolonged cold streak behind him, perhaps the 23-year-old will start contributing offensively again. He had six goals and 10 points in his first 13 games this season, so Tippett was off to a strong start before hitting that speed bump.

Rotowire
Tippett scored a pair of goals for the first time in his career during Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the host Canadiens.
Tippett, who has collected three goals in two games, continues to distance himself from a three-game span (Oct. 10-13) that was lowlighted by a combined minus-7 rating.

Connecting directly off a faceoff, Tippett's second-period marker tied the game at 3-3. Tippett, who has collected at least one point in four consecutive contests, contributed a team-high six shots, three blocks and a plus-2 rating in 21:06 of ice time.

Rotowire
Tippett scored his third goal this season during Tuesday's 5-1 victory over the Blues.
With the game in hand, Tippett received a gift goal when goalie Thomas Greiss mishandled the shot with 39 seconds remaining. The 2017 No. 10 overall draft pick has yet to establish himself as a bona fide NHL forward. In 122 career games, Tippett has 21 goals among 45 points.

Flyers' Owen Tippett: Being evaluated for injury
Rotowire
Doctors are evaluating Tippett for an upper-body injury sustained during Thursday's game against New Jersey, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Tippett collided with Devils forward Ondrej Palat towards the end of the first period. Palat came back out for the start of the second period, but Tippett did not. Tippett had 10 goals and 21 points in 63 games with Florida and Philadelphia last season. When he was with the Panthers in 2021-22, he logged just 12:32 of ice time, but his role jumped to an average of 15:12 of ice time with the Flyers after he was acquired on March 19. With his more significant opportunity in Philadelphia, he could do significantly better than he did last season if he stays relatively healthy.

Flyers' Owen Tippett: Inks two-year extension
Rotowire
Tippett signed a two-year, $1.5 million AAV contract with the Flyers on Friday.
Tippett was acquired from Florida last season as part of the Claude Giroux trade. He scored 14 points in 42 games with the Panthers and another seven points in 21 appearances with Philadelphia. The 23-year-old winger was selected 10th overall in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and was considered a high-end prospect for several years. While he hasn't quite found his footing at the highest level, Tippett has a solid chance to outplay this deal in Philadelphia's middle-six before becoming a restricted free agent again in 2024.
