Dallas Stars fall to Owen Tippett, streaking Philadelphia Flyers
PHILADELPHIA — Owen Tippett scored twice, including a highlight-reel goal late in the third period, Scott Laughton made a penalty shot and the streaking Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Dallas Stars 5-1 on Thursday night for their fifth straight victory.
Sean Walker and Cam Atkinson also scored for Philadelphia, which outshot Dallas 43-16. Morgan Frost added a pair of assists and Sam Ersson made 15 saves for the Flyers, who snapped a seven-game losing streak to the Stars.
Tippett put an exclamation point on the victory with 5:30 remaining when he spun past defenseman Joel Hanley before firing a backhander past Jake Oettinger’s glove side for a dazzling goal.
Tyler Seguin scored for Dallas, which lost for just the second time in the last six.
Philadelphia entered in second place in the Metropolitan Division and sitting comfortably in a playoff spot. The Flyers are looking to return to the postseason for the first time since 2020.
This season has been a remarkable turnaround for the Flyers, who overhauled their front office after winning just 56 games combined in the last two seasons. Former Flyers Keith Jones and Danny Briere took charge as president and general manager, respectively, and Dan Hilferty was tabbed as the club’s governor.
They termed their approach “A New Era of Orange” and have made it a priority to be transparent with communication to fans and connect with former Flyers, something the club had gone away from before the changes this past offseason.
Coach John Tortorella remained, and a combination of established veterans and young upstarts have responded well to his demanding style in his second season at the helm.
Walker started the scoring with one minute left in the first period, beating Oettinger on the blocker side after getting all alone following a stellar, between-the-legs pass from Frost from the boards to the slot.
The Flyers went ahead by two goals 3:30 into the second when Tippett notched his 12th by firing a wrist shot over Oettinger’s right shoulder following a faceoff win by Sean Couturier.
Philadelphia was dominant through the first 26½ minutes, registering 21 of the first 22 shots. Dallas didn’t get its second shot on goal until 13:48 remaining in the second when Esa Lindell got in close on Ersson.
Dallas got on the board with 7:18 to play in the second when Seguin stole the puck from Walker deep in Philadelphia’s zone, then shot high over Ersson for his 17th goal.
Oettinger, playing in his fourth straight game after missing 12 in a row with a groin injury, made 38 saves. The Dallas netminder kept it a one-goal contest with several strong stops in the second, denying Walker from close range and gloving Frost’s wrist shot through traffic on a Philadelphia power play.
Philadelphia notched a rare power-play goal 44 seconds into the third when Atkinson scored from close range. Philadelphia, which entered last in the NHL on the man-advantage, recorded just its 18th power-play goal of the season.
Laughton scored on a penalty shot with 10:44 left after being pulled down on a breakaway attempt by Hanley.

With the official NFL schedule coming this week, the Dallas Cowboys have revealed when, where and against who their Week 1 contest will be.
The Cowboys announced that they will square off against the New York Giants on the road in Week 1, with the game set for Sunday, Sept. 13, at 7:20 p.m. CT. So, it’s prime time for the Cowboys to start the season.
This is the second game we know about for the Cowboys this year. Of course, we know they will be playing on Thanksgiving, also.
The official schedule will drop on May 14, the NFL announced last week. Schedules for all 32 teams will be revealed on ESPN and the NFL Network, but each team will unveil its own schedule on social media, also.
The Cowboys were always likely to play a road game in Week 1 because of an Usher and Chris Brown concert taking place at AT&T Stadium that week.
Dallas will also be impacted by an Ed Sheeran concert in Week 7, so that’s another potential road game. They could also play on Monday or Thursday that week, or have a bye.
Cowboys’ strength of schedule
According to Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis, the Cowboys are not going to have an easy road to make the postseason.
The Cowboys have the fourth-toughest schedule in the NFL going into the 2026 season, with only the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins and Carolina Panthers having tougher slates.
Dallas’ schedule is also the third-toughest in the NFC, and the most difficult in the NFC East.
Sharp does his strength of schedule rankings based on win totals from Vegas oddsmakers rather than utilizing the previous season’s records because that metric doesn’t factor in offseason changes.
The Cowboys will play home games against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders.
On the road, Dallas will square off against the Giants, Eagles, Commanders, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers.
Of those opponents, seven of them made the postseason in 2025, a list that includes the Jaguars, 49ers, Eagles, Texans, Rams, Seahawks and Packers.
All of those teams should be as good in 2026, and teams like the Colts, Titans, Ravens, Bucs, Giants and Commanders have a very real chance to be improved as well.
It won’t be an easy road for Dallas to get back to the playoffs in 2026, but there’s at least hope following a defensive overhaul.

Dallas weather: May 10 morning forecast
Today is by far our most active day of the extended forecast. After our Red River Counties got some severe storms overnight, we expect a mostly quiet morning. Isolated storms are expected to start forming just after noon. The severe threat begins mid-afternoon in a more scattered fashion, before a cold front ushers in widespread rain and strong storms this evening.
DALLAS – A powerful cold front sweeping across North and Central Texas on Monday is expected to trigger a wave of severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail, dangerous winds, and isolated flash flooding.
Severe weather in North Texas
Timeline:
The National Weather Service in Fort Worth warned that while showers and storms will begin developing Monday morning, the risk of severe weather will peak during the afternoon and evening hours as the front advances southward.
We are tracking two distinct phases of the storm system. Initial storms are expected to be “discrete,” or individual cells, which carry a high risk of large hail exceeding 2 inches in diameter. As the evening progresses, these individual storms are forecast to merge into a large cluster or broken line.
Once the storms consolidate, the primary threat will shift toward damaging straight-line winds. Forecasters warned that wind gusts could exceed 70 to 75 mph, speeds capable of downing trees, damaging roofs, and causing power outages.
In addition to the wind and hail threats, the system is expected to dump significant amounts of water. While most areas will see standard rainfall, there is a 10% to 15% chance that some locations could receive up to 4 inches of rain. Isolated flash flooding can happen over these locations.
Live Radar
We are watching how morning activity near the Red River might influence the speed of the cold front. The exact position of that front will be the primary factor in determining where the most intense storms initiate.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and have multiple ways to receive weather warnings throughout the evening.
The front is expected to push through the region by Tuesday morning.
