NHL Player Safety has fined Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton $5,000 for cross-checking New York Islanders forward Maxim Tsyplakov. This is the maximum allowable fine under the CBA. Laughton's cross-check occurred at the 15:30 mark of the third period. The Flyers forward was given a two-minute minor for cross-checking on the play.

New York Islanders forward Maxim Tsyplakov faces a possible suspension after delivering a high hit to Philadelphia Flyers center Ryan Poehling on Thursday night.

Sean Couturier had a goal and an assist, Travis Konecny added three assists and the Flyers defeated the Islanders 5-3.

Any win against a divisional rival is a big deal, but the Philadelphia Flyers’ 5-3 victory over the New York Islanders carried extra weight.

It is becoming abundantly obvious that the New York Islanders are on the brink of losing the 2024-25 season in January, and Thursday night’s unsuccessful third-period comeback in a 5-3 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers only cemented that.
