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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Tsyplakov registered an assist and added five shots on net in Friday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Tsyplakov is on a nine-game goal drought, but he's managed four assists in that span. 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.

Tsyplakov generated a pair of even-strength assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Tsyplakov scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Tsyplakov hadn't scored since Dec. 21 versus the Maple Leafs. That was a span of 26 games without a goal, during which he had eight assists, 35 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-8 rating while watching his ice time plummet following a move to the fourth line since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Tsyplakov registered an assist and five PIM in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Tsyplakov had to answer the bell for his hit to the head of Ryan Poehling when these two teams previously met Jan. 16. He took care of it by fighting Scott Laughton at 4:51 of the first period, and that was the end of the aggression. Tsyplakov would add his helper as the Islanders' fourth line combined for the team's second goal, scored by Marc Gatcomb. The assist ended an 11-game point drought for Tsyplakov, who is unlikely to be very effective if he remains in the bottom six. He's at 20 points, 63 shots on net, 31 PIM, 102 hits and a plus-9 rating over 46 appearances, but the bulk of his offense has come when he's in a middle-six role.
