Owen Tippett was sitting on the brink of a milestone, with 99 goals and 199 points in his National Hockey League career entering Saturday’s game against the New Jersey Devils, and it didn’t take long for the Flyers winger to hit both milestones on the same play. Just over five minutes into the opening period, Flyers center Christian Dvorak found Tippett heading towards the net, and Tippett made a nifty move on Devils goaltender Jacob Markstrom to hit the century mark.

Acquired as part of the trade that sent Claude Giroux to the Panthers at the trade deadline back in March 2022, Tippett had just 14 goals and 19 assists for 33 points in the first 94 games of his career in Florida. Since then, in 371 games, Tippett has 86 goals and 81 assists for 167 points as a member of the Flyers. He now has seven goals this season after scoring 20 in 2024-25. In his first two full seasons in Philadelphia the winger had 27 and 28 goals, respectively.

The goal — Tippett’s seventh of the season and his fifteenth point of the 2025-26 campaign — hopefully will be memorable for Flyers fans, should he get back on a hot streak in terms of scoring. Prior to the goal on Saturday night, Tippett had just one goal in the month of November. That was in a four-point night against St. Louis, a game the line of Tippett, Dvorak, and Trevor Zegras dominated in a 6-5 shootout victory. The forward scored in four of the Flyers first six games to start the season. Hopefully he begins lighting the lamp heading into a busy December.

Tippett, who made a costly gaffe late in a game against Edmonton which negated a possible game-winning goal late in regulation, has been playing better of late. Ideally he gets his engine going a bit more with some of those dynamic, highlight reel bursts of speed he is known for. With the goal this evening, Tippett now has points in six of the last eight games dating back to the Nov. 14 victory over the Blues.

With any luck, and with a few 30-goal to 35-goal seasons on the horizon under new head coach Rick Tocchet, Tippett might hit the 200-goal milestone much sooner. Particularly if the Flyers show any improvement in the power play department, which they have since they started the season with Trevor Zegras leading the way.
