Move over Connor McDavid and Connor Bedard, Owen Tippett has submitted his case for NHL goal of the season after an absolutely bonkers spin-o-rama tally.
On Thursday, the Philadelphia Flyers bested the Dallas Stars 5-1 en route to their fifth victory in a row. The Flyers had the Stars’ number from the start, as Philadelphia jumped out to a lead in the first period and never looked back. A big reason for that was due to Tippett, who scored two goals in the Flyers’ five-goal victory, but none more so bigger than this one.
With the Flyers up 4-1 in the third, Tippett put the game away for Philadelphia with a ridiculous spin-o-rama move, firing the puck off his backhand and beating goaltender Jake Oettinger with a beauty of a shot.

What a move and what a goal! We’ll be seeing that on highlight reels all season long, that’s for sure.
