Philadelphia Flyers winger Owen Tippett (undisclosed) will miss Thursday's game against the New York Islanders. He was injured in Wednesday's contest against the New Jersey Devils, and Thursday's matchup may not be the only game he will have to sit out.

Out Thursday

The Philadelphia Flyers suffered a tough 5-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Jan. 29. During this matchup, the Devils had far more control than the Flyers and took advantage of it. This was especially true during the second period when the Devils scored four times.

Owen Tippett had to exit Wednesday night after taking a big hit and the Flyers were rolled by the Devils, 5-0.

The Flyers’ continuing troubles in the second games of back-to-back matchups continued following a 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders, in a game in which Morgan Frost and Matvei Michkov did not see the ice halfway through the second period and beyond.

A hard hit on Flyers wing Owen Tippett by Devils defenseman Brenden Dillon in the first period might have gotten the Flyers off their game somewhat. No penalty was called on the play, which resulted in the Flyers trying to exact revenge throughout the first half of the game action.

Andrei Kuzmenko was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers by the Calgary Flames for Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee on Thursday. The Flyers also acquired Jakob Pelletier, a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and a seventh-round pick in the 2028 Draft.

John Tortorella didn’t have much of an update on Owen Tippett aside from the news that the Flyers’ winger won’t be available Thursday night.

The Philadelphia Flyers were shut out for the second time in as many games in what may have been the most dysfunctional hockey game I have ever watched.

The Philadelphia Flyers were shut out, 3-0, by the New York Islanders at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday evening.

But when a stretch of eight Metropolitan Division games out of nine ended on Thursday night, the Flyers’ 3-0 loss to the visiting New York Islanders left Philadelphia’s record at 3-4-1 for that key segment.
