Tsyplakov had a hearing earlier on Friday with the NHL Department of Player Safety.
The incident occurred at 8:14 of the first period in Philadelphia's 5-3 win in Elmont, N.Y. Poehling sustained an upper-body injury on the play but Tsyplakov was not assessed a penalty.

Tsyplakov, a 26-year-old rookie, has 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) and 26 penalty minutes in 44 games. He will have to miss New York's upcoming home games against the San Jose Sharks, Columbus Blue Jackets and Flyers and is eligible to return Jan. 25 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Laughton, 30, has 23 points (nine goals, 14 assists) and 14 penalty minutes in 46 games this season.
