Poehling left the game Thursday night in the first period with an upper-body injury and didn’t return. The play was reviewed, but officials deemed the hit was not a penalty.

The NHL announced Tsyplakov will forfeit $14,843.76 because of the suspension.

The Flyers won the game 5-3.

The Islanders face the Sharks, Blue Jackets and the Flyers again over their next three games.
