The Philadelphia Flyers today announced the club has signed forward Owen Tippett to an eight-year, $49.6 million contract extension ($6.2 million AAV) starting with the 2024-25 season, according to General Manager Daniel Briere.
Tippett, 24 (2/16/99), owns 30 points (18-12=30) in 46 games this season. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound native of Peterborough, Ontario, leads the Flyers in even-strength goals (16) and shots on goal (167), ranks T-1st in game-winning goals (3), second in goals and is T-3rd in scoring. He skated in his 200th career NHL game on Oct. 28 vs. ANA and tallied his 100th career NHL point on Nov. 15 vs. CAR. The right-shot forward set a career-high four-game goal streak, Nov. 10-18, matched his career-high four-game point streak three times, Oct. 24-30, Nov. 10-18, Dec. 19-28, and tallied a career-high 10 shots on Jan. 15 at STL. He has 86 points (49-37=86), including 11 power-play goals and eight game-winning goals in 144 career games as a Flyer and owns 119 career points (63-56=119), including 13 power-play goals and 10 game-winning goals in 238 contests in five NHL seasons with Florida and Philadelphia (2017-24).
Tippett was acquired by the Flyers on March 19, 2022 from the Florida Panthers along with a third-round selection in the 2023 NHL Draft (95th overall – Denver Barkey) and a first-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft in exchange for Claude Giroux, Connor Bunnaman, German Rubstov and a fifth-round selection in the 2024 NHL Draft.
