Philadelphia Flyers acquired Owen Tippett in the Claude Giroux trade last offseason, fans were not too happy, Tippett finished off the season with a underwhelming seven points in over twenty games with the Flyers. This season, he looks different, the Flyers planned to utilize Owen Tippett on a line with Kevin Hayes, and the two big-body forwards looked amazing in preseason hockey.
All was gelling well between Tippett and his line mates, until Tippett went down in Fridays Flyers opening game after a hard collision with New Jersey Devils forward Ondrei Palat.
Tippet did not return to the game, and the worst has been confirmed at the Flyers media conference this morning.
Owen Tippett has been placed on the Flyers injury reserve list, and there is 0 timeline for his return yet.
