The Islanders won’t have Maxim Tsyplakov for the next three games, with the left winger receiving a three-game suspension for his hit against the Flyers’ Ryan Poehling — an illegal check to the head — during Thursday’s game, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced Friday.
Just over nine minutes into the first period Thursday, Tsyplakov skated toward Poehling as he cut toward the net for a tight-angle shot and lowered his left shoulder.
