Tippett Scores Twice in Loss to Devils
Owen Tippett scored a pair of goals in Saturday’s 6-3 Stadium Series loss to New Jersey. Tippett got Philadelphia on the board in the second period, beating Nico Daws with a wrister for his 20th goal of the year, before adding a second tally on the power play later in the same frame. The 25-year-old Tippett came into Saturday with just one goal in five outings since returning from a four-game stint on IR with a lower-body injury. He’s up to 35 points (21 goals, 14 assists) through 52 games this season.
Bedard Stands out in Loss to Hurricanes
Connor Bedard scored a power-play goal and added two assists in Monday’s 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes. One of Bedard’s helpers also came on the power play, and he had a second goal overturned when the play was reviewed for being offside. The 18-year-old phenom has picked up right where he left off prior to his broken jaw, amassing six points over three games since his return. He’s up to 17 goals, 22 assists, 10 power-play points, 128 shots on net and a minus-24 rating through 42 appearances.
