Maxim Tsyplakov drops the gloves, adds assist in win
by Bruno Mulé | Islanders Correspondent | Fri, Jan 31st 10:17am EST
Maxim Tsyplakov recorded an assist and logged five PIM in Thursday’s 3-0 victory over the Flyers. The winger fought Scott Laughton early in the first period, settling a score from their previous matchup before contributing offensively with a helper on Marc Gatcomb’s second-period goal. The assist snapped an 11-game point drought for Tsyplakov.
Fantasy Impact:
Tsyplakov has been more effective in a middle-six role, but his current bottom-six deployment limits his offensive potential. Through 46 appearances, he has 20 points, 63 shots on goal, 102 hits, and 31 PIM, making him a better asset in leagues that reward physical play. Unless he moves up the lineup, his fantasy value remains capped.
