Georgi Romanov - NHL News & Rumors

Sent back down Romanov was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Thursday.

Impact Romanov backed up Joel Hofer in the Blues' 5-1 win over the Kraken on Thursday. Jordan Binnington should be available to start one game of the Blues' upcoming back-to-back, either Saturday at home versus the Devils or Sunday on the road in Minnesota.

Up from AHL Romanov was called up by AHL Springfield on Thursady, per Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Impact Romanov will serve as Joel Hofer's understudy for Thursday's home game against Seattle. Jordan Binnington is getting the game completely off after playing between the pipes in Canada's 2-1 overtime loss to Team USA on Sunday at the 2026 Winter Games. Romanov has a 3.37 GAA and an .893 save percentage in 24 outings with Springfield in 2025-26.

Posts shutout in AHL Romanov recorded a 33-save shutout in AHL Springfield's 2-0 win over Utica on Friday.

Impact Neither team has been all that good to begin this season, and it showed with the low-scoring game. Springfield's struggles have led to Romanov opening the year 1-5-0 with a 3.38 GAA and a .901 save percentage, with Friday's effort being his first win. He signed just before the start of the season after attending the Devils' camp on a professional tryout, so this may have been a modicum of revenge for the 25-year-old goalie to beat New Jersey's farm team.

Inks one-year deal Romanov signed a one-year, two-way contract with St. Louis on Wednesday.

Impact Romanov attended New Jersey's training camp on a PTO, but he ultimately didn't land a contract with the Devils. Still, the 25-year-old has managed to earn a two-way deal, though Romanov is projected to begin the campaign in the minors. Romanov had a record of 0-6-0 with a 3.88 GAA and an .877 save percentage across eight appearances with the Sharks in 2024-25.

Earns PTO with New Jersey Romanov signed a professional tryout agreement with the Devils on Friday.

Impact Romanov earned no NHL interest during free agency, so he will attempt to earn himself a contract while on a tryout in New Jersey. He saw limited action with the Sharks over the last two years, going 0-6-0 with 28 goals allowed on 249 shots over 10 appearances. With three goalies already on NHL contracts, Romanov doesn't have a good chance of seeing NHL action in 2025-26.

Becomes free agent The Sharks didn't extend a qualifying offer to Romanov on Monday, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Impact Romanov saw limited playing time with the Sharks over the last two seasons. Over eight appearances last year, he went 0-6-0 with a 3.88 GAA and .877 save percentage, and he'll have to seek out another contract ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Loses again versus Flames Romanov stopped 25 of 29 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flames. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Romanov is now 0-6-0 through eight outings this season, including two losses to the Flames. The 25-year-old netminder simply hasn't gotten enough goal support -- the Sharks have scored no more than two goals in any of his eight appearances this season. He's added a 3.89 GAA and an .877 save percentage in 2024-25. Romanov is getting a long look late in the campaign, likely to evaluate if he'll be an option to serve as the Sharks' backup next season, potentially behind Yaroslav Askarov should the team let Alexandar Georgiev walk in free agency.

Starting in Calgary Romanov will defend the road net versus the Flames on Sunday, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact After nine appearances, including seven this season, Romanov is still seeking his first NHL victory. He has stopped 104 of 114 shots en route to a record of 0-3-0 in April, including a 29-save effort in a 3-2 loss to Calgary on Monday. The Flames sit 30th in the league with 2.61 goals per game in 2024-25.

Takes loss to Oilers Romanov stopped 30 of 33 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Romanov's quest for his first win continues, though he did a decent job of keeping this game close. He's allowed just 10 goals over his last four outings (three starts). Romanov is still 0-5-0 on the year with a 3.86 GAA and an .879 save percentage over seven appearances. He'll likely split the next two games with Alexandar Georgiev -- the Sharks wrap up their last road trip of the season with a back-to-back with stops in Calgary on Sunday and Vancouver on Monday.

Gets starting nod Romanov will start Friday's contest at the Oilers, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports via Jason Gregor of Sports 1440.

Impact The task of snapping the Sharks' seven-game losing streak will go to Romanov on Friday. The last three starts for the 25-year-old have been solid - he's allowed seven goals between the three contests with a .914 save percentage. The Oilers present a tough challenge with Connor McDavid back in the lineup, but Edmonton is still without the NHL's leading goal-scorer Leon Draisaitl, perhaps lessening the challenge for Georgiev.

Struggles late Monday Romanov made 29 out of 32 saves in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

Impact Romanov cruised through the first two periods before his play collapsed in the third period. He allowed three goals in a seven-minute stretch which was enough for the Flames to turn the tide and steal the win from San Jose. With the loss, the 25-year-old Romanov has an 0-4-0 record with a 4.01 GAA and an .873 save percentage in six appearances this season. While Romanov should continue to see some action in net with the Sharks eliminated from playoff contention, it is best to fade him in fantasy formats. His next opportunity to guard the crease is Wednesday at Minnesota.

Klapka, Frost help Flames rally in third period to beat Sharks 3-2

Adam Klapka and Morgan Frost scored 2:48 apart midway through Calgary’s three-goal third period, and the Flames rallied to beat the San Jose Sharks 3-2

APRIL 8, 2025 • Associated Press

First goalie off Romanov was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports, indicating that he'll defend the home crease against the Flames.

Impact Romanov was relatively effective in relief against the Kraken on Saturday, turning aside 10 of 11 shots (.909 save percentage). However, he hasn't been particularly sharp since mid-March, going 0-3-0 with a 4.21 GAA and .864 save percentage over five appearances. He'll have a favorable matchup against the Flames, as they're averaging just 2.58 goals per game this season, which is the third-worst mark in the NHL.

APRIL 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Decent in relief outing Romanov stopped 10 of 11 shots in relief of Alexandar Georgiev in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Romanov was called on for mop-up duty after the Kraken took a 4-1 lead in the middle of the second period. This was another passable effort from Romanov, but he remains in search of his first win at the NHL level. He's 0-3-0 with 17 goals allowed on 125 shots across five appearances this season, though allowing eight goals to the Kings last Sunday left a mark on his numbers. Romanov may get some extra action down the stretch for evaluation purposes, especially since Georgiev has done nothing to suggest he'll be part of the Sharks' long-term plans in the crease.

Comes up short against Oilers Romanov stopped 35 of 38 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact While Romanov took a third straight loss, this was a pretty good showing against a tough, albeit injury-riddled, opponent. Romanov is now 0-3-0 with 16 goals allowed over four appearances this season. Alexandar Georgiev (upper body) is day-to-day, so the Sharks have temporarily been forced to go with Romanov and Gabriel Carriere as their goalie duo, as Yaroslav Askarov is just coming back from a lower-body injury with AHL San Jose. The Sharks have a couple of decent matchups ahead -- Saturday versus the Kraken, Monday versus the Flames -- but Romanov is a clear fade behind an inexperienced and often leaky defense.
