Game-time call Romanov (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus the Kraken on Tuesday.
Won't play Saturday Romanov (lower body) won't play Saturday against Calgary, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Impact Romanov has contributed five goals, 13 points, 81 shots on net, 109 blocked shots and 82 hits across 51 outings this campaign. He will be replaced in the lineup Saturday by Sebastian Aho. Romanov is considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus Seattle.

Tallies in win Romanov scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Stars.
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.
JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Two helpers in Friday's win Romanov ended up with two assists in Friday's 5-3 road win against the Senators.
Impact Romanov was good for a plus-2 rating, two shots on goal and four blocked shots with three hits in 30:02 of ice time across 41 shifts. 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.

Impact Romanov dealt with an upper-body injury at the tail end of the regular season and into the playoffs, though the Islanders didn't specify what surgery he had. The 23-year-old defenseman's status isn't in question as long as he recovers well over the summer.

Remains unavailable Wednesday Romanov (upper body) didn't practice with the team Wednesday and is expected to miss Game 2 versus the Hurricanes, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
Impact Romanov has been sidelined since April versus the Lightning, a stretch of six games on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. 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. Even once cleared to play, Romanov is far from a lock to retake a spot in the lineup and may still have to keep watching from the press box.

Won't return Thursday Romanov (upper body) isn't expected to play Thursday versus Tampa Bay, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Romanov last played Saturday and hasn't skated since, so it might still be a bit before he's ready to return. Of course, with the end of the season around the corner, there aren't many opportunities left for Romanov to play. He has two goals and 22 points in 76 contests in 2022-23.

Impact Romanov set up Zach Parise's insurance goal in the third period. While Romanov has a modest three assists through seven games in March, he's added a plus-6 rating for the month. The 23-year-old defenseman is up to 21 points, a plus-11 rating, 92 shots on goal, 181 hits and 120 blocked shots through 70 outings overall, chipping in solid offense with his usual physical play.

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.
