Alexander Romanov Out 5-6 Months Due to Shoulder Surgery

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (shoulder) is expected to miss 5-6 months after undergoing surgery, the team announced on Sunday. The Russian rearguard injured his shoulder during a contest against the Dallas Stars on Nov. 16. He was on the receiving end of a bad hit from Stars forward Mikko Rantanen, who was tossed from the game because of it. Romanov has recorded one assist, 17 shots, 31 blocks, and 31 hits in 15 games this season. Due to Romanov's absence, Adam Boqvist has become a regular in the lineup. Marshall Warren could also receive opportunities to play soon.

Islanders Place Alexander Romanov on Injured Reserve

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) has been placed on Injured Reserve, making him ineligible for at least one week of action. He is set to miss three games after sustaining an upper-body injury in Tuesday's win over the Dallas Stars. Romanov has been a non-factor offensively this season, posting one assist in 15 appearances. However, the Islanders will definitely miss his presence on the defensive end, as Romanov shares the team lead with 31 blocks and is tied for third with 31 hits. Marshall Warren has been recalled from the minors and could make his third appearance of the season in Thursday's tilt against the Detroit Red Wings. Although Warren didn't do much in his first couple of outings, he has been hot offensively in the AHL, amassing nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 10 games.

Alexander Romanov Injured in Tuesday's Win

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) was injured late in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars. He needed help to get off the ice after crashing face-first into the boards following a hit from Stars forward Mikko Rantanen, who was ejected from the game 28 seconds from the end for boarding. Romanov has already missed five games because of injury this season. He is a big presence in the Islanders defense, registering 31 blocks and 31 hits in 15 outings this season. Romanov's offensive contributions have been limited to one assist. If the Russian blue-liner has to miss time, the Islanders will likely bring Adam Boqvist back into the lineup.

Alexander Romanov Returns to Action Thursday

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. He has missed the past five games due to an upper-body injury. Romanov's return adds a big presence on the Islanders' blue line. In four outings this season, the Russian rearguard has recorded 15 hits and 12 blocks. However, he is still looking for his first points of the campaign. Marshall Warren will exit the lineup to make room for Romanov, who will team up with Tony DeAngelo on the third defensive pairing.

Alexander Romanov Expected to Miss Two More Games

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) is expected to spend at least two more games on the sidelines. This rules him out for the rest of the week's action, as the Islanders return to the ice on Thursday against Detroit and have a visit to Philadelphia scheduled for Saturday. Romanov has already missed two games due to an upper-body injury. He has recorded 12 blocks and 15 hits in four contests this season. Adam Boqvist has played during Romanov's absence and looks set to remain in the lineup on Thursday. Boqvist has been anonymous in two appearances so far, averaging 13:43 of ice time on the third defensive pairing.

Alexander Romanov Unavailable Versus Sharks

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) won't play in Tuesday's meeting with the San Jose Sharks. After returning to practice on Monday, Romanov seemed to be on track to play in Tuesday's matchup. However, it is now confirmed that he will miss a second consecutive game due to an upper-body injury. Romanov remains day-to-day and will get his next chance to return on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. Adam Boqvist will continue to fill in for Romanov. The Swedish blue-liner has a limited role on the team and doesn't hold any fantasy value.

Alexander Romanov a Game-Time Call for Tuesday

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday's clash against the San Jose Sharks. The Russian blue-liner was also a game-time call for Saturday's contest against the Ottawa Senators but missed the action. On Monday, Romanov was back at practice, which suggests that he should be good to go for Tuesday's matchup. This season, Romanov has been a non-factor offensively, going scoreless in four outings, but he's made a big mark in the defensive zone. Romanov leads the Islanders with 12 blocked shots and ranks third with 15 hits.

Alexander Romanov to Be a Game-Time Call Saturday

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (undisclosed) didn't practice on Friday and will be a game-time decision for Saturday's clash against the Ottawa Senators. Romanov has struggled to make an impact offensively this season and may even benefit from having some time off. He has zero points through four games and holds a minus-three rating. On the defensive end, Romanov has stayed busy with 12 blocks and 15 hits. The Islanders have Adam Boqvist as an extra defenseman on the roster, and he's poised to replace Romanov against Ottawa if he can't play. Boqvist has decent offensive skills, but he lacks the consistency needed to make a mark in fantasy hockey.

Islanders Retain Alexander Romanov on $50 Million Contract

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov has bypassed restricted free agency to sign an eight-year, $50 million contract extension. While Romanov has never managed more than 22 points in a season during his five-year NHL career, he is highly valued for his efforts on the defensive end. In 2024-25, Romanov racked up 165 blocks and 147 hits in 64 regular-season outings. The Russian rearguard contributed four goals and 16 assists on offense. Although limited offensively, Romanov logged over 22 minutes of ice time per game (22:18) and might have an even bigger role in 2025-26 after the Islanders traded Noah Dobson to the Montreal Canadiens.

Alexander Romanov Not Expected To Play On Thursday

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (illness) is still not feeling "100 percent" and will likely remain sidelined on Thursday evening when the Islanders face the Montreal Canadiens. Romanov was unable to play in their last contest and is trending toward missing his second-straight contest. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to warm-ups but should expect Adam Pelech to remain in the starting lineup. Before his injury, Romanov tallied three points (two goals) over his last 10 contests. During this stretch, Romanov logged an impressive 23 hits and 29 blocked shots. Through 52 contests this season, Romanov has found the back of the net four times and added 14 helpers. The 25-year-old has averaged 2.3 hits per game and 2.7 blocked shots per game.

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (illness) will not be in the starting lineup on Tuesday evening against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Romanov is battling an illness. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status leading up to their next contest on Thursday evening against the Montreal Canadiens. Before this illness, Romanov was riding a seven-game scoreless streak. During this stretch, Romanov logged 19 hits and 21 blocked shots with a -2 rating. Before this skid, Romanov tallied nine points (four goals) over his last 13 games. During this span, Romanov averaged an impressive 3.4 blocked shots per game. While Romanov is sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Adam Pelech to return to the starting lineup.

Alexander Romanov A Game-Time Decision Saturday

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) is a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt against San Jose. He has sat out three games with an upper-body injury but appears to be on the brink of returning. Romanov has been limited to nine points this season, but seven have come in his last eight appearances. He has yet to score with 40 shots on goal and has amassed 65 blocks and 73 hits across 30 outings. Dennis Cholowski is expected to drop out of the lineup if Romanov feels ready to return against the Sharks.

Alexander Romanov Considered Day-To-Day

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) is considered day-to-day. After being a game-time decision, Romanov ended up sitting out Saturday's matchup against Utah, but he isn't expected to miss extended time. Romanov has yet to score in 30 outings this season, but he has contributed nine assists on the offensive end. Additionally, he boasts 65 blocks and 73 hits for the campaign. Scott Mayfield saw increased usage on the second defensive pairing with Romanov out on Saturday. The Russian blue-liner will have his first chance to return on Tuesday versus Ottawa.

Alexander Romanov Rejoins Islanders Lineup

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against Calgary. He's missed the past seven games and has played in only one of the last 11 contests. The Russian blue-liner boasts two assists for the season with 10 shots on goal, 21 blocks, and 16 hits in eight outings. Romanov will be reunited with Noah Dobson on the first defensive pairing. Grant Hutton will come out of the lineup. The Flames average the eighth-most hits per game, and Romanov's return will help the Islanders match their physicality.

Alexander Romanov Remains Sidelined Tuesday

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) will not be available on Tuesday against Pittsburgh. He remains day-to-day and will miss a second consecutive game. The Islanders have had a chance to use Romanov just once in the past five games as the Russian rearguard battles an upper-body injury. Adam Pelech (jaw) and Mike Reilly (upper body) are also out, giving Dennis Cholowski an opportunity to skate with Noah Dobson on the first defensive pairing. As a result of the injuries, we will also see Isaiah George make his NHL debut on Tuesday. George joins the lineup after posting two points (one goal, one assist) in four AHL appearances. He will link up with Grant Hutton on the third defensive pairing.

Alexander Romanov Ready To Play Friday

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) will return from a three-game absence on Friday against Buffalo. He was initially regarded as a game-time decision. However, it has now been confirmed by Stefen Rosner of NHL.com that Romanov will play on Friday. Romanov racks up defensive stats for fun but doesn't provide offense very often. In seven appearances this season, he has registered two assists, 10 shots, 19 hits, and 14 blocks. Romanov's return to the lineup pushes Mike Reilly back to the third defensive pairing while Dennis Cholowski exits the lineup.

Alexander Romanov Remains Out On Tuesday

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday versus Anaheim. He remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury. The Russian rearguard has collected two assists in seven games this season with 10 shots, 19 blocks, and 14 hits. Dennis Cholowski has replaced Romanov in the lineup. Cholowski scored on Saturday in his season debut against Florida. However, he's only logging third-pairing minutes in defense, limiting his fantasy appeal. Mike Reilly has moved up to the first pairing. He hasn't yet generated any offense this season, going scoreless with 11 shots on goal.

Alexander Romanov Sits Out Saturday's Game

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) will not be available on Saturday versus Florida. He is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Romanov made his seventh appearance of the season on Friday versus New Jersey and collected his second assist of the campaign. He has yet to score with 10 shots on goal. The Russian blue-liner ranks first on the team with 19 blocks and third with 14 hits. The Islanders will definitely miss his physicality on Saturday. Dennis Cholowski is expected to step into the lineup as Romanov's replacement. Cholowski is offensively more talented than Romanov but likely won't see a lot of ice time. He has averaged 12:46 of action across his first two appearances of the season.

Alexander Romanov 100 Percent For Training Camp

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (shoulder) was on the ice Thursday as training camp started and is reportedly fully healthy. Romanov's status for camp was initially questionable after he underwent shoulder surgery in the offseason. The 23-year-old has started preparations for his second season on Long Island. Last season, Romanov had a career year offensively with 22 points (two goals, 20 assists), and he was a major presence on the defensive end with 129 blocks and 198 hits.

Alexander Romanov Could Miss Start Of Training Camp

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (shoulder) might not be ready for the start of training camp. The Russian blue-liner had shoulder surgery at the end of last season, and the team wants to be cautious in bringing him back. Romanov had a very solid debut campaign with the Islanders, notching 22 points (two goals, 20 assists) in 76 games with 100 shots on goal, 129 blocks, 198 hits, and a plus-13 rating. Samuel Bolduc is expected to fill in for Romanov if he isn't ready for the start of the camp.
