Romanov signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Blues on Friday.
After signing with the Blues in October of 2025, Romanov has now secured a multi-year extension after playing exclusively with AHL Springfield on a one-year, two-way contract. Across 28 regular-season appearances, he posted a 9-12-3 record, an .896 save percentage and a 3.29 GAA. The 26-year-old netminder offered a mixed bag of results over 10 regular-season appearances with the Sharks across the 2023-24 and 2024-25 campaigns. He could find his way to the NHL with the Blues if the team opts to trade away Jordan Binnington, who is coming off a down year and was in the heart of trade rumors during the 2026 trade deadline.
