Owen Tippett dealt with internal bleeding during the 2026 NHL Playoffs.
Tippett missed the entire second-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes due to the issue, which occurred during the first-round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Flyers released a statement on his behalf today (May 12, 2026), and Tippett thanked fans for their support.
Earlier reports described it as an “undisclosed injury,” with rumors of a sports hernia also circulating. Tippett played through discomfort in the first round (recording two points in six games) before being sidelined.
This aligns with his recent absence and the team’s playoff run. No further long-term details are available yet, but it sounds like a serious but managed condition that kept him out for the later post-season games.
