Maxim Tsyplakov - NHL News & Rumors

In part-time role Tsyplakov was scratched for Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

Impact This scratch came after five straight games in the lineup for Tsyplakov, who got bumped out by the return of Jean-Gabriel Pageau (upper body). Tsyplakov has done nothing to help his case for playing time -- he's gone without a point in his last 14 games while getting scratched eight times in that span. The 27-year-old has a meager one goal, 15 shots on net, 37 hits and a minus-6 rating over 20 appearances after putting up 10 goals and 35 points in 77 outings a year ago.

First point of the season Tsyplakov scored a goal in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers on Saturday.

Impact It was Tsyplakov's first goal and point of the season; it was a redirection of a point shot to put the Isles up 32 at 4:21 of the third period. He put up 35 points (10 goals, 25 assists) in 77 games with the Isles last season. But Tsyplakov's ice time Saturday was down to 8:26 on Saturday, and it's been as low as 6:36 this season. You can't do much offensively when you're not on the ice.

Signs two-year contract Tsyplakov penned a two-year, $4.5 million contract with the Islanders on Friday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Tsyplakov and the Islanders were slated to go to arbitration but avoid it with the deal. The 26-year-old had an up-and-down rookie season with New York, generating 10 goals and 25 assists across 77 regular-season contests. Tsyplakov is likely to see a middle-six role in 2025-26 and is expected to put up similar numbers as he did last season.

Strikes on power play in loss Tsyplakov scored a power-play goal on four shots and added three hits in Thursday's 9-2 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Tsyplakov has two goals and three assists over his last seven contests. This was his first power-play point since Nov. 23, though the Islanders' struggles with the man advantage have played a significant role in that. For the season, the winger has 10 goals, 35 points, 111 shots on net, 138 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 73 appearances.

Goal, assist in Nashville Tsyplakov registered a goal on two shots, an assist, three blocks and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Predators.

Impact Tsyplakov assisted on Simon Holmstrom's 20th goal of the campaign early in the middle frame, and the latter would return the favor shortly thereafter. This was Tsyplakov's first goal since March 16 -- he managed just four helpers over the 10 games between markers. The Russian winger is at nine goals, 34 points and a plus-8 rating through 72 appearances in 2024-25. Tsyplakov will more than likely fall shy of the 40-point mark but has transitioned fairly well to North American ice in his first NHL season after previously playing in the KHL.

The 26-year-old winger is up to 32 points, 102 shots on net, 133 hits and a plus-4 rating over 70 appearances. Tsyplakov has regained a second-line role, which gives him a little more upside as a power winger to close out 2024-25.

Impact Tsyplakov logged the primary assist on goals by Marc Gatcomb and Kyle MacLean in this defeat. Tsyplakov's last multi-point effort prior to Saturday was in a 6-3 loss to Minnesota on Feb. 8. The Russian winger has supplied eight goals and 30 points through 64 appearances in his first NHL season. Tsyplakov could challenge for the 40-point mark if he's able to pick up the pace over the last few weeks of the campaign.

The 26-year-old winger was also suspended for three games and scratched twice during the slump. Tsyplakov is now at eight goals, 28 points, 84 shots on net, 121 hits, 33 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 61 appearances in his first NHL campaign.

Notches helper Sunday Tsyplakov recorded an assist in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

Impact Tsyplakov set up a Tony DeAngelo tally in the third period to prevent the Islanders from getting shut out. This was Tsyplakov's second assist in his last three games, as it appears he's responded well following a healthy scratch March 1 versus the Predators. The 26-year-old winger is now at 27 points, 81 shots on net, 119 hits and a plus-6 rating through 58 appearances this season. He's in a third-line role for now, and that's likely where he'll stay to close out the campaign given the veteran talent in the Islanders' top six.

Registers assist in win Tsyplakov notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

Impact Tsyplakov ended a four-game slump with the helper. He was scratched once in that span as well as minutes get more competitive in the Islanders' lineup. Tsyplakov played at a 0.5 point-per-game pace through the end of December, but he has just seven helpers, 22 shots on net and 29 hits over his last 18 outings. The 26-year-old may simply be wearing down from the rigors of an NHL campaign -- he played a total of 76 contests with Spartak Moscow of the KHL in 2023-24 between the regular season and playoffs. He's already up to 56 appearances, earning 26 points, 77 shots, 118 hits and a plus-7 rating, in his first NHL season.

Nabs two apples in defeat Tsyplakov banked two even-strength assists Saturday in a 6-3 loss to the Wild.

Impact Tsyplakov has registered at least one assist in five of his last six games, but he hasn't scored since Dec. 21. The Russian winger has contributed seven goals, 18 helpers and a plus-9 rating through 51 appearances in his first season on North American ice. The 26-year-old has bounced around the lineup at times this season, but he's developed some chemistry on the second line with Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri of late. Tsyplakov will look to net his eighth goal of the season when the Islanders are back in action Feb. 23 against Dallas.
