Overview

  • Tippett said in a team statement Tuesday that internal bleeding from the Penguins series kept him from playing against the Hurricanes.
  • The team’s update replaced earlier reports of a sports hernia with a confirmed diagnosis of internal bleeding.
  • He was allowed to travel and skate in select practices but never reached a point where it was considered safe to play.
  • Philadelphia was swept in four games by Carolina and managed five goals without one of its top scorers.
  • Tippett expects a full recovery and says he will be ready for training camp in September after a 28-goal, 51-point season.
