Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Out long-term
Romanov (shoulder) will have surgery and be out 5-6 months, the team announced Sunday.
Barring a deep playoff run from the Islanders, this in effect ends Romanov's season. The 25-year-old was hit from behind by Mikko Rantanen, who was ejected from game because of it. He had one assist in 15 games during his 19:27 of ice time per night this season with a minus-7 rating, 31 hits and 31 blocked shots.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Placed on IR
Romanov (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Given the force at which Romanov collided with the boards after a hit from behind courtesy of Mikko Rantanen, it would have been quite the surprise to see Romanov avoid missing any time. With the move to IR, the 25-year-old defenseman will be sidelined at least the next three games, though it could certainly be longer.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Sustains injury late in game
Romanov (upper body) was injured in the third period of Tuesday's game versus the Stars, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Romanov didn't require hospitalization after getting smashed into the board by Mikko Rantanen, but his status beyond that isn't known. The 25-year-old Romanov missed five games earlier in the year with an upper-body injury. If he misses additional time, Adam Boqvist will likely enter the lineup, though the Islanders could also call up a left-shot defenseman from AHL Bridgeport to maintain balance on the blue line.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Plucks first apple
Romanov notched an assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.
The helper was Romanov's first point of the season. The defenseman was slowed by an upper-body injury earlier in the campaign, which cost him five games. He's produced one assist, 12 shots on net, 25 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 13 appearances. The emergence of rookie Matthew Schaefer has meant fewer minutes for Romanov, who will mostly function as a shutdown blueliner.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Returning to action Thursday
Romanov (upper body) will return to the lineup for Thursday's game against Carolina, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Romanov was sidelined since mid-October due to his upper-body injury, but he's been cleared to return following a five-game absence. Over Romanov's first four appearances of the season, he recorded no points, 15 hits, 12 blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-3 rating while averaging 18:12 of ice time.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Won't play Tuesday
Romanov (upper body) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Boston but will travel with the Islanders during their upcoming three-game road trip and is expected to play at some point, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Romanov has missed the last four games due to his upper-body injury, but he's drawing closer to a return. While he'll be unavailable for at least one more matchup, he'll likely be able to suit up Thursday against Carolina or Friday against Washington. Adam Boqvist and Marshall Warren have filled in on the Islanders' blue line in Romanov's absence.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Placed on injured reserve
Romanov (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Thursday.
Romanov was placed on IR retroactive to Oct. 16, so he can technically be activated as soon as he is ready to play -- though he has already been ruled out for the next two games at least. With the available roster spot, the Isles figure to bring up some emergency depth on the blue line -- most likely Isaiah George.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Not close to returning
Romanov (upper body) is expected to miss at least two more games, per Andrew Gross of Newsday on Wednesday.
Romanov has already missed two games due to the injury, and it seems the earliest he could potentially return is Tuesday in Boston. When Romanov is healthy, he will probably replace Adam Boqvist in the lineup.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Unavailable against San Jose
Romanov (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus the Sharks on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Romanov was deemed a game-time decision Monday, and it's unclear if he's suffered a setback since he was ruled out well before puck drop. Adam Boqvist will remain in the lineup Tuesday because of Romanov's absence. The Russian blueliner's next chance to suit up will be at home against the Red Wings on Thursday.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Game-time call Tuesday
Romanov (upper body) will be a game-time decision against the Sharks on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Romanov was working on the third pairing at Monday's practice alongside Tony DeAngelo, which is a good indication that Romanov will be ready Tuesday. The 25-year-old blueliner is still looking for his first point of the season after having been held off the scoresheet in his opening four contests prior to his injury.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Secures max-term deal
Romanov signed an eight-year, $50 million contract with the Islanders on Monday.
Romanov's deal will make him the highest-paid blueliner on New York's roster, coming in just ahead of veteran Ryan Pulock. In terms of fantasy value, Romanov won't impress offensively, having failed to reach the 25-point mark at any point in his five-year NHL career, but he can produce in banger formats. The 25-year-old Russian dished out 147 hits while adding 165 blocks in just 64 regular-season games last year and should continue to produce in those categories.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Out Thursday
Romanov (illness) isn't expected to play in the Islanders' regular-season finale versus Columbus on Thursday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Romanov is slated to end the campaign with four goals, 20 points, 100 shots, 147 hits and 165 blocks in 64 appearances. It's the third straight season in which he's recorded at least 20 points, though he is set to finish just below the 150-hit mark after reaching that milestone in each of his previous three campaigns.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Dealing with illness
Romanov (illness) won't play against Washington on Tuesday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Romanov will miss at least one game but could return for Thursday's regular-season finale versus Columbus. He has registered four goals, 20 points, 100 shots on net, 165 blocked shots and 147 hits through 64 appearances this season. Scott Perunovich will replace Romanov in Tuesday's lineup.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Breaks slump with assist
Romanov notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
Romanov ended a 14-game point drought by helping out on the first of Marc Gatcomb's two goals. In that span, Romanov missed two contests due to an illness and racked up 39 hits and 39 blocked shots. He's remained in a top-four role despite the lack of offense -- his playing style focuses on physicality and defense more than scoring. Romanov is up to 19 points, 91 shots on net, 158 blocks, 142 hits and a plus-9 rating over 60 appearances. Were it not for injuries, he likely would have been able to surpass the 22-point total he logged in each of the previous two seasons, though he could still do it with a strong finish to 2024-25.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Back in action Saturday
Romanov (illness) will play Saturday against the Flames, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Romanov will return to action after missing the last two games. The 25-year-old blueliner has four goals and 18 points in 52 appearances this season. Due to Romanov's return, Scott Mayfield will be a healthy scratch versus Calgary.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Expected to miss out again
Romanov (illness) is set to be sidelined against Montreal on Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Romanov will be shelved for his second straight game due to his lingering illness. The blueliner will have to wait at least one more game to try and break out of his seven-game pointless streak. In his stead, Adam Pelech is poised to see increased minutes on the blue line.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Won't face Pens
Romanov (illness) will not be in the lineup versus Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
Romanov is currently mired in a seven-game pointless streak during which he registered 10 shots, 19 hits and 21 blocks while averaging 22:06 of ice time. Given his offensive limitations, the 25-year-old defenseman is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value except in banger leagues. Adam Pelech (lower body) will rejoin the lineup with Romanov on the shelf.

Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Under the weather
Romanov is contending with an illness, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Tuesday.
Romanov will presumably be a game-time decision for Tuesday's road game against the Penguins, as he has yet to be ruled out. New York's blue line is currently banged up -- Adam Pelech's (lower body) status for Tuesday is uncertain, and Adam Boqvist is also dealing with an illness. Romanov has contributed four goals, 18 points and a plus-9 rating across 52 appearances in 2024-25.
