Impact Romanov opened the scoring 2:52 into the first period, firing a wrister past Scott Wedgewood off the rush to give the Isles an early 1-0 lead. The 24-year-old blueliner now has points in back-to-back games. He's up to 12 points (five goals, seven assists) with 104 blocked shots and 64 hits through 46 games this season. Romanov should continue skating on New York's top pairing while Ryan Pulock (lower body) remains sidelined.

Scores in loss to Avalanche Romanov found the back of the net in a 5-4 overtime loss to Colorado on Tuesday.

Impact Romanov found the back of the net midway through the second period to give the Islanders a 4-3 edge. It was his third tally and ninth point in 37 contests this season. Romanov stands out in terms of hits and blocks -- he has 50 and 88, respectively, in 2023-24 -- but the 23-year-old isn't a major offensive threat, having never recorded more than 22 points in a single season. It doesn't help that Romanov gets almost no power-play ice time and is unlikely to receive a role with the man advantage over the remainder of the campaign.

The Russian rearguard had managed just a single goal with no assists across the first 18 games. The multi-point effort was his first posting two assists against the Sabres on March 7, 2023.

Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner was stuck in a 14-game goal drought during which he managed just 19 shots while recording four helpers.

Finding his game Romanov has a rating of plus-7 over his last six games.

Impact On the season, Romanov has two goals, 20 points and a rating of plus-8 in 67 games. It seems unlikely that he will ever be an offensive force, but the Isles knew that when they traded a first-round pick to the Canadiens for his services. Whether or not the 23-year-old will be worth that pick is up for debate, but the team will hope his defensive game keeps maturing, and that Romanov might improve offensively as he gains more experience.
