A 31-goal season for Spartak Moscow in Russia’s top league, the KHL, meant that winger Maxim Tsyplakov was going to have his fair share of suitors as he prepared to make the jump to North America and to the NHL.“I don’t look at money,” the 25-year-old said on Thursday. “I look for my opportunity, when I can play — power play, PK.”
“It’s a good opportunity,” Tsyplakov said following his first day of work at Islanders rookie camp. “It’s a big chance. I want to play hockey in the big leagues and I want to work with Patrick.” Tsyplakov also was linemates with former Islanders forward Shane Prince, who helped with his English and also helped sell the Islanders to him.
The 6-foot-3 forward is projected to work on the Islanders’ second line this season alongside Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri — a concept that will come more to fruition when training camp starts next week.
