In a major blow to the Philadelphia Flyers' playoff hopes, forward Scott Laughton's teammate and fellow forward Scott Tippett will miss Game 1 of their Eastern Conference second-round series. The Flyers will head into the crucial matchup without one of their top forwards, as Tippett has been ruled out due to injury. The Flyers will have to rely on their depth and other scorers to step up and fill the void left by Tippett's absence. With the series set to begin, the Flyers will be looking to bounce back from their first-round series win against the New Jersey Devils and take the early lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
