Philadelphia Flyers forward Owen Tippett suffered a lower body injury during a game and was seen limping down the tunnel. He did not return to the game and is currently being evaluated. Danny Briere confirmed Tippett's unavailability for the rest of the game, describing the situation as a 'darn shame' given Tippett's recent performance. Despite the injury, there is internal optimism about Tippett's condition, with early indications suggesting it may not be a long-term issue and possibly just a mild ankle sprain. Tippett was unable to participate in the following game, and while he was seen skating and testing out the injury under the supervision of trainer Tommy Alva, the Flyers are expected to proceed without him for the immediate future. Nic Deslauriers is expected to come in for Tippett, while Bobby Brink remains a scratch. There is speculation that Tippett may be out until after the All-Star break to ensure adequate rest and recovery.
So it looks like Deslauriers comes in for Tippett. Bobby Brink remains a scratch.
I would not be surprised if Owen Tippett is out until after the All-Star break. This way he could get much needed rest, and the Flyers would be acting cautiously
No Owen Tippett on the ice for warmups, so as assumed, he won't be playing today. The fact that he skated a few hours ago though is a good sign that his injury isn't long term.
No Owen Tippett for warmups, so he's out tonight.
Owen Tippett will not be in the lineup today. #OTTvsPHIB| #LetsGoFlyers
Owen Tippett will not play today. I think Bobby Brink returns to the lineup, and I think Nic Deslauriers will too. I think the Flyers will go with 12F,6D on a back to back
Owen Tippett testing things out under the watch of trainer Tommy Alva. Tippett left Saturday’s game with lower-body injury. The fact that Tippett could skate today and test it is a good sign. https://t.co/pqZqKUCO9d
Regarding Owen Tippett: Heard that he was walking around fine after the game and the hope is it's just a mild ankle sprain. Nothing official yet, though.

Tippett getting banged up would be the worst case scenario outcome for this game, far worse than a loss. He's been on fire recently. Hopefully he returns back up the tunnel soon.

Tippett limps to bench
Owen Tippett is banged up and headed up the tunnel. He was limping pretty good.
Quinton Byfield just went down the tunnel after his collision a few moments ago. Probably getting stiched up.
