Owen Tippett missed entire second-round playoff series for Philadelphia Flyers due to internal bleeding

"I was unable to return for the Second Round series vs. Carolina due to an internal bleeding issue that I sustained during the First Round series vs. Pittsburgh. Following a series of medical evaluations, treatments, and rehabilitation under the care of Flyers medical team, I am making progress and feeling better each day. Despite being cleared to travel and skate with the team at certain practices, things did not progress at a pace that I hoped for or would allow me to safely continue playing."

"I am beyond proud of what our team has accomplished this season and truly moved by the tremendous support of the fans. I want to sincerely thank everyone for that support - both personally for me and my family, as well as our entire medical and performance staff. I am confident for a full recovery and look forward to returning for training camp in September and an exciting year ahead for this organization. -Owen Tippett"
