Philadelphia Flyers forward Ryan Poehling was on the receiving end of a controversial hit to the head by New York Islanders’ Maxim Tsyplakov on Thursday night, and the team placed the 26-year-old on injured reserve on Monday.

The Philadelphia Flyers announced Monday that center Ryan Poehling has been added to the injured reserve with an upper-body injury. In a corresponding roster move, center Rodrigo Abols has been recalled from the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

Islanders rookie Maxim Tsyplakov had a target on his back after delivering a hard shoulder check on Poehling, who left the game.
