Owen Tippett News: Nets hat trick Friday

Tippett scored a hat trick and added a power-play assist in Friday's 7-3 win over the Avalanche.

Tippett had gone four games without finding the back of the net, but he broke out in a big way in Friday's win with the second hat trick of his NHL career. He also became the fifth Philadelphia player in the past 20 years to record a hat trick that included a shorthanded goal, according to Ryan Boulding of NHL.com. Tippett is up to 18 goals and 33 points this season. If he stays healthy, he could reach the 30-goal plateau in 2025-26.
