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