Maxim Tsyplakov News: First point of the season

Tsyplakov got his first goal and point of the season. He scored on a redirection of a point shot to put the Isles up 3-2 at 4:21 of the third period. He earned 35 points (10 goals, 25 assists) in 77 games last season. Tsyplakov's ice time Saturday was down to 8:26, and it's been as low as 6:36 this campaign.
