Alexander Romanov - Page 5 - NHL News & Rumors

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

Impact 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 Isles would certainly benefit from getting the 24-year-old Romanov back into the lineup.

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

Impact Romanov will sit out his seventh consecutive game. The defenseman has yet to practice with full contact since he last played Nov. 1. Romanov has two assists, 16 hits and 21 blocked shots in eight games in 2024-25.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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 in the Islanders' top pairing for the last two games.

Not playing Saturday Romanov (upper body) skated at practice, but will not play at home versus New Jersey on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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).

NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact Romanov's spot in the lineup 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 four of the Isles' last five games as he works his way through this upper-body issue.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed day-to-day Romanov (upper body) is considered day-to-day.

Impact Romanov will join an extensive list of banged-up defensemen on the Isles' roster -- Adam Pelech (face) and Mike Reilly (upper body) are both dealing with injuries, as well. 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.

NOVEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

Missing second game in a row Stefen Rosner of NHL.comRomanov (upper body) will not suit up for Tuesday's home matchup versus Anaheim, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact 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 through seven outings.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist Monday Romanov provided an assist, five hits, six blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Romanov took a physical toll on the Avalanche, leading all skaters in the game in hits and blocks. The 24-year-old defenseman's physicality is his bread and butter -- he has seven hits and 14 blocks to go with six shots on net, four PIM and a minus-2 rating through three contests. He'll continue to be a physical force as the stay-at-home half of a pairing with the more offensively-talented Noah Dobson.

OCTOBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up helper Romanov posted an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 1.

Impact Romanov has earned six helpers over 10 contests since the start of April. The 24-year-old defenseman matched his career high with 22 points during the regular season, adding 157 hits, 171 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating in a top-four role. He's unlikely to put up gaudy scoring numbers, but he can be useful in fantasy formats that reward his physical play.

APRIL 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Has two helpers Romanov had a pair of assists in the Islanders 4-2 victory over Columbus on Thursday.

Impact Romanov has three assists in his last three games. The 24-year-old blueliner has a career high seven goals this season, as well as 13 assists in 75 games. He has plenty of fantasy value with 137 hits and 152 blocked shots, if you are playing those categories.

APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finds twine in win Romanov scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Romanov has a goal and an assist over his last two games after posting just one goal over his previous 12 contests. The defenseman's focus is often in his own zone rather than the attacking end, but he's now posted more goals this season (seven) than in his previous three campaigns combined (six). Romanov has 16 points, a plus-17 rating, 95 shots on net, 111 hits and 132 blocked shots over 61 appearances.
