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 Thursday night.

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.

John Tortorella almost shit a brick on Thursday night when Ryan Poehling was wiped out by Maxim Tsyplakov in the first period of the Flyers/Isles game. I’ve watched this probably 25 times and read more than a hundred comments from legit hockey people on social media,

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.

Tsyplakov's hit on Poehling from the Flyers’ 5-3 win Thursday over the Islanders was deemed illegal by the NHL Department of Player Safety.

The win allowed the Islanders to leapfrog both the Flyers and Rangers into fifth place in the Metropolitan Division.

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.
