The new agreement will start to apply from the 2024/25 season. The player’s cap will be 6.2 million per year.
Tippett signed a two-year, $3 million contract with the Flyers in July 2022.
“We are very confident in what we saw, and that’s why we wanted Owen to stay with us.” “He is part of the core of the team and we are very excited,” said Flyers general manager Daniel Brière.
Tippett played 46 regular season games with the Flyers this season, scoring 30 points (18 goals + 12 assists). The forward has not played since January 20 due to a lower body injury. In total, the 24-year-old hockey player has 238 games in the NHL and 119 points (63+56).
Philadelphia is seventh in the Eastern Conference standings with 56 points.
