The Flyers lost one of their key forwards early against the Devils.
The Philadelphia Flyers suffered a tough 5-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Jan. 29. During this matchup, the Devils had far more control than the Flyers and took advantage of it. This was especially true during the second period when the Devils scored four times.
Losing was not the only bad part of the Flyers' night, as forward Owen Tippett also left the contest early with an undisclosed injury.
During the second period of the contest, Tippett received a big open-ice hit from Devils defenseman Brenden Dillon. He appeared shaken up on the play.
With Tippett being one of the Flyers' top forwards, they will be hoping he isn't dealing with an injury that is too serious. In 52 games this season, he has 14 goals, 30 points, 46 blocks, and 75 hits.
