Romanov (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
Romanov's placement on injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise, considering the defenseman is not expected back until mid-April at the earliest. With Matias Maccelli (lower body) and Calum Ritchie (lower body) both dealing with injuries, the Isles used the open roster spot from Romanov's IR placement to bring up Mitchell Chaffee.
