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.

If Tippett can't play, Rodrigo Abols would likely draw back into the Flyers' lineup.
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.
Primarily known as a stay-at-home defenseman, Ginning, who has 10 career NHL games under his belt, is expected to be in the lineup Thursday.
According to the team, Philadelphia Flyers left wing Owen Tippett (undisclosed) exited early during Wednesday's loss to the New Jersey Devils. Tippett sustained this injury during the second frame and was unable to return.
These are my three favorite NHL props for Wednesday, January 30. If there is a team to fade tonight, it’s the Philadelphia Flyers. They just wrapped up a home-and-home with the Devils last night in a 5-0 loss where first-liner Owen Tippett exited. It will be Ivan Fedotov in net, which is an advantage for the red-hot New York Islanders.
