The McvHybrid sample has a good example for getting the new access_token and refresh_token back into the principal. Here's a link to the github file with the code, which is located in RenewTokens() as shown below.

    public async Task RenewTokens()
    {
        var disco = await DiscoveryClient.GetAsync(Constants.Authority);
        if (disco.IsError) throw new Exception(disco.Error);

        var tokenClient = new TokenClient(disco.TokenEndpoint, "mvc.hybrid", "secret");
        var rt = await     HttpContext.Authentication.GetTokenAsync("refresh_token");
        var tokenResult = await tokenClient.RequestRefreshTokenAsync(rt);

        if (!tokenResult.IsError)
        {
            var old_id_token = await HttpContext.Authentication.GetTokenAsync("id_token");
            var new_access_token = tokenResult.AccessToken;
            var new_refresh_token = tokenResult.RefreshToken;

            var tokens = new List();
            tokens.Add(new AuthenticationToken { Name = OpenIdConnectParameterNames.IdToken, Value = old_id_token });
            tokens.Add(new AuthenticationToken { Name = OpenIdConnectParameterNames.AccessToken, Value = new_access_token });
            tokens.Add(new AuthenticationToken { Name = OpenIdConnectParameterNames.RefreshToken, Value = new_refresh_token });

            var expiresAt = DateTime.UtcNow + TimeSpan.FromSeconds(tokenResult.ExpiresIn);
            tokens.Add(new AuthenticationToken { Name = "expires_at", Value = expiresAt.ToString("o", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) });

            var info = await HttpContext.Authentication.GetAuthenticateInfoAsync("Cookies");
            info.Properties.StoreTokens(tokens);
            await HttpContext.Authentication.SignInAsync("Cookies", info.Principal, info.Properties);

            return Redirect("~/Home/Secure");
        }

        ViewData["Error"] = tokenResult.Error;
        return View("Error");
    }
