  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Set to return Wednesday

    Romanov (illness) is set to play Wednesday versus Boston, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Romanov, who missed Monday's 4-2 loss to Detroit, is projected to skate alongside Noah Dobson on the first pairing. The 24-year-old Romanov has two assists, eight PIM, 31 hits and 27 blocks across 11 outings in 2024-25.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Unavailable Monday

    Romanov will miss Monday's home game versus Detroit due to an illness, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Romanov will miss his 11th game of the 2024-25 campaign. The left-shot blueliner will be replaced in the lineup Monday by Grant Hutton, and Scott Mayfield will move up to the top pair alongside Noah Dobson. The Islanders host the Bruins on Wednesday, so expect an update on Romanov's status to surface before then.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Ready to return

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Game-time call Tuesday

    Romanov (upper body) will be a game-time decision versus the Flames on Tuesday.

    Romanov hasn't played since Nov. 1 versus Buffalo, a stretch of seven games on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. With Mike Reilly (chest) out indefinitely and Adam Pelech (jaw) yet to resume skating, the Islanders would certainly benefit from getting the 24-year-old Romanov back into the lineup.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Not available Saturday

    Romanov (upper body) will not be in the lineup in Seattle on Saturday, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Not cleared for contact

    Romanov (upper body) is traveling with the Islanders but remains in a non-contact sweater, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Thursday.

    Romanov will have three more opportunities to return during the team's road trip, starting with Saturday's clash with Seattle. The 24-year-old defenseman has logged just one game in the team's last nine contests, registering two hits, two blocks and a plus-1 rating in 23:52 of ice time. Grant Hutton figures to continue featuring on the blue line with Romanov on the shelf.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Unavailable Tuesday

    Romanov (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus Edmonton, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Romanov participated in Tuesday's morning skate but hasn't been cleared for contact yet. He will miss his fifth straight game. Romanov has accounted for two assists, 10 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and 16 hits across eight appearances this season. During Romanov's absence, Isaiah George has been holding down a spot on the Islanders' top pairing for the last two games.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Not playing Saturday

    Romanov (upper body) will not play versus New Jersey on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Romanov will miss his fourth straight game and seventh in the last eight but skated on his own Saturday. Romanov will accompany the team on a five-game road trip, which begins Tuesday in Edmonton. He has two assists, 16 hits and 21 blocked shots in eight games this season.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Remains out Thursday

    Romanov (upper body) was not on the ice for Thursday's game-day skate and won't be in the lineup versus Ottawa, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Romanov's absence, along with that of Mike Reilly (concussion), will see Isaiah George continue filling a spot on the blue line -- this time alongside Noah Dobson on the top pairing. For his part, Romanov has played in just one of the Isles' last seven contests due to his upper-body concerns. If he doesn't get back in the lineup soon, Romanov could miss the 20-point threshold for the first time in three years.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Not playing Tuesday

    Romanov won't play Tuesday versus Pittsburgh, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Romanov remains day-to-day and will miss his second straight game. He has provided two assists, 10 shots on goal, 21 blocked shots and 16 hits across eight appearances this season. Following his recall from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, Isaiah George will make his NHL debut versus the Penguins because of injuries to blueliners Romanov, Adam Pelech (jaw) and Mike Reilly (upper body).

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Remains day-to-day

    Romanov (upper body) is still day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Penguins, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Romanov's spot in the lineup at practice Monday was being filled by forward Matt Martin, which would seem to indicate that the 24-year-old blueliner will be healthy in time to suit up against Pittsburgh. Still, Romanov has played in just one of the Islanders' last five games as he works his way through this upper-body issue.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Unavailable Sunday

    Romanov (upper body) won't play Sunday against the Rangers, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Despite missing Saturday's practice, Romanov was initially expected to play in Sunday's game. However, that won't be the case, and he's day-to-day. With Romanov, Adam Pelech (jaw) and Mike Reilly (upper body) unavailable, Dennis Cholowski, Grant Hutton and Samuel Bolduc will play against the Rangers.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Deemed day-to-day

    Romanov (upper body) is considered day-to-day, the Islanders announced Saturday.

    The Islanders were already missing defensemen Adam Pelech (jaw) and Mike Reilly (upper body). If Romanov can't suit up Sunday versus the Rangers, either Samuel Bolduc or Grant Hutton -- both of whom were recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday -- would likely enter the lineup.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Expected to play Sunday

    Per Andrew Gross of Newsday, coach Patrick Roy expects Romanov (upper body) to play Sunday against the Rangers.

    Romanov missed practice Saturday, but it was likely a maintenance day for the defenseman. Romanov has a pair of assists, 16 hits and 21 blocked shots in eight games this season.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Set to play Friday

    Romanov (upper body) is expected to play versus the Sabres on Friday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Romanov was considered a game-time decision officially, though he was labeled probable by head coach Patrick Roy after the morning skate. The 24-year-old Romanov will resume his top-four role, though it's his contributions in non-scoring categories that give him some appeal as a streaming and DFS option.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Game-time decision

    Romanov (upper body) will be a game-time call versus the Sabres on Friday, though head coach Patrick Roy expects the blueliner to play, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Romanov will be back in action after missing the previous three contests due to his upper-body injury -- assuming he is given the all-clear as expected. While the 24-year-old Russian offers limited offensive upside -- he's never reached the 25-point mark in his five-year NHL career -- he does provide category coverage in hits and blocks, racking up 14 and 19, respectively, in seven games this year.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Won't return Wednesday

    Romanov (upper body) will not be in action for Wednesday's matchup with the Blue Jackets, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Romanov will be on the shelf for his third straight game due to his lingering upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 24-year-old blueliner has registered just two helpers through seven outings and has yet to find the back of the net this season. Despite the slow start, Romanov should be capable of reaching the 20-point threshold for the third consecutive campaign assuming he is able to return to action sooner rather than later.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Missing second game in a row

    Romanov (upper body) will not suit up for Tuesday's home matchup versus Anaheim, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Romanov is day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Columbus, and head coach Patrick Roy said the left-shot blueliner has not suffered a setback. Dennis Cholowski will continue to slot in on the third defense pair while Romanov is sidelined. Romanov has provided two assists, 10 shots, 14 hits and 19 blocks through seven outings.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Sitting out Saturday

    Romanov (upper body) won't play Saturday against Florida, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Romanov had one assist, five hits and three blocked shots in 21:51 of ice time in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over New Jersey. He received a hard hit from Kurtis MacDermid in the game and will miss at least one outing. Dennis Cholowski will probably replace Romanov in Saturday's lineup.

  • Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Provides helper in overtime win

    Romanov notched an assist, five hits and three blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Devils.

    Romanov was bloodied by a high hit at one point in the game, but he didn't miss a shift and answered with toughness instead. The 24-year-old defenseman's helper came when Kyle Palmieri tipped in his shot at 11:28 of the second period. Romanov has two assists, 14 hits, 19 blocked shots, 10 shots on goal and six PIM through seven outings this season. He remains in a top-four role, but he's unlikely to chip in much more than 20-25 points.
