Russian attacker Maxim Tsyplakov will take Pierre Engvall’s place in the starting lineup New York Islanders said NHL club general manager Lou Lamoriello.
Earlier it became known that the club placed Engvall in the waiver draft.
— This is a striker for the top 6 or top 9 (the first two or three lines – approximately), and Maxim Tsyplakov, who deserved this place, will play there. It’s not that Engvall did anything wrong, but he actually lost his job at this point,” Lamoriello said according to Newsday.
Tsyplakov is 26 years old and signed a rookie contract with the Islanders in May of this year. In the KHL, the striker defended the colors of Spartak.
The Islanders will begin the NHL regular season on October 10 at home against Utah.
