Philadelphia Flyers forward Ryan Poehling was on the receiving end of a controversial hit to the head by New York Islanders’ Maxim Tsyplakov on Thursday night, and the team placed the 26-year-old on injured reserve on Monday.

On Friday, the NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced it has suspended New York Islanders forward Max Tsyplakov for three games for his illegal check to the head of Flyers forward Ryan Poehling on Thursday night.

Tonight's game between the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Islanders at Wells Fargo Center promises to be a high-energy and potentially heated affair.

The New York Islanders (23-20-7) marched into the Wells Fargo Center and soundly defeated the Philadelphia Flyers (23-24-6) 3-0 on Thursday night.

Coach John Tortorella said recently that Ivan Fedotov’s goalie style is weird. But that wasn’t the only weird occurrence inside the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night. The Flyers’ troubles in the second game of back-to-backs — they are now 1-8-1 in those games — continued with a 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders.
