Tippett is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury and will not play in Game 1 in Carolina.

Tippett will miss Game 1 in Carolina, but is considered day-to-day, so he should be back in the series. Tippett, who produced two points (1G / 1A) in six games in Round 1, will be replaced by Garnet Hathaway in the lineup, but Alex Bump will earn the promotion to the top line.

Tippett (undisclosed) is doubtful to play in Game 1 in Carolina.

Tippett missed Friday's practice, with what was presumed to be maintenance, but suddenly his status for Game 1 has come into question. Alex Bump is expected to take his spot on the top line and Garnet Hathaway is expected to replace him in the lineup if Tippett is unable to play in Game 1.

Tippett (lower body) has been activated from the Injured Reserve and will return Tuesday.

Tippett has been out since January 20th due to a lower-body injury but was activated off the Injured Reserve Tuesday and is expected to return to his top-six role. The 24-year-old is enjoying somewhat of a breakout season which led to a big contract extension this season with 18 goals, 30 points, 167 SOG, two PIMs, and a -3 plus/minus in 46 games played.

Philadelphia has signed Owen Tippett to an eight-year, $49.6 million ($6,200,000 AAV) contract extension.

Tippett has become one of the main offensive cogs in Philadelphia and has been rewarded with an eight-year, $49.6 million contract extension. The 24-year-old broke out last season with 49 points (27G / 22A) in 77 games and, despite currently being on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, is producing at a higher pace this season with 30 points (18G / 12A) in 46 games. This season, Tippett has established himself as a skilled power-forward, evident by his 168 shots on goals and 68 hits.

Tippett will return to the Flyers lineup on Thursday.

Tippett suffered an upper-body injury in the Flyers' season opener and missed the last five games. Tippett will replace James van Riemsdyk, who is out long-term with a hand injury that will require surgery. Tippett has four goals and three assists (seven points) in 22 games since being traded to the Flyers.
