Owen, who was moved to injured reserve these days with a lower-body problem, is in what could be the best campaign of his young career. Tippett (24) is on pace to have his 1^st 30-goal campaign and over 50 points.

If he achieved that at the end of the season, the winger would surpass what he achieved in his 1^st campaign with Philadelphia back in 2022-23 when he notched 27 goals and earned 49 points in 77 matches.

Re-inking Owen to an 8-season contract worth over 6 million dollars per year gives the NHL franchise from Philly their 6^th player who has more than 3 years remaining on their current deals.

Tippett was a 1^st round selection by the Florida Panthers in 2017, and he had 14 goals and 33 points in 94 matches with the team from Florida.

OWEN’S GOIN’ NOWHERE!
