Romanov logged an even-strength assist, three shots on goal, five blocked shots and one takeaway in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Romanov has earned a helper in back-to-back games. He helped out on Kyle Palmieri's 15th goal of the season in the third period. Romanov has two goals and nine points over 13 games since the calendar flipped to 2025 -- he had just six assists through the first three months of the campaign. The left-shot blueliner makes for an interesting add in most formats, especially now that he's paired with the offensively-minded Tony DeAngelo. Romanov will look to extend his point streak to three games Saturday in Minnesota.

Romanov logged an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Romanov had gone three games without a point, but he has logged at least four blocks in five straight contests. The 25-year-old defenseman also hasn't been completely devoid of offense lately, earning eight points over 12 outings since the start of January. He's seeing top-pairing minutes and always brings physicality. He's at 14 points, 56 shots on net, 99 blocks, 95 hits and a plus-9 rating through 39 contests this season.

Romanov scored a goal on five shots, added six hits and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Romanov is in position to play a large role while Noah Dobson (lower body) and Ryan Pulock (upper body) are out. This was Romanov's third straight game on the scoresheet (two goals, two assists), and he also provides ample physicality. For the season, the 25-year-old blueliner has 13 points, 49 shots on net, 92 hits, 82 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 35 appearances. Despite missing 14 contests due to various injuries, Romanov still has a reasonable chance of surpassing the 22 points he put up in each of the last two campaigns.

EDGE Analysis
Romanov scored his first goal of the season in the first period to set the Islanders on the comeback trail. He also assisted on Anders Lee's equalizer in the third. Romanov has 12 points this season, 10 of which he's earned over his last 12 contests. He also brings ample physicality with 86 hits, 78 blocked shots, 44 shots on net and a plus-6 rating over 34 appearances.

Romanov logged an assist, seven hits and four blocked shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Romanov has played the last three games while still shaking off a lingering upper-body injury. It didn't seem to be bothering him much Friday as he played in a physical contest, which may have had a bit more intensity after the previous game between the Islanders and Flyers on Jan. 16 had some ugly moments. Romanov now has 10 assists, 40 shots on net, 77 blocked shots, 82 hits and a plus-4 rating over 33 appearances.

Romanov (upper body) will be in the lineup Monday versus the Blue Jackets, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
EDGE Analysis
Romanov was a game-time call heading into Monday's contest, which was likely maintenance-related, as the left-shot blueliner saw 23:26 of ice time in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks. The 25-year-old will skate on the No. 1 pairing beside Noah Dobson against Columbus.

Romanov (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the Blue Jackets, but head coach Patrick Roy expects him to play, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Romanov was also a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup against the Sharks, but he returned from a three-game absence and recorded five blocked shots and two hits in 23:26 of ice time. He participated in Monday's morning skate, so he appears to be trending in the right direction and will likely be available for a second consecutive game.

Romanov (upper body) participated in warmups and is expected to play Saturday versus the Sharks, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Romanov was initially listed as a game-time decision. He is set to return from a three-game absence and should resume his top-pairing role as a shutdown defenseman. He has nine assists, 73 hits and 65 blocked shots over 30 appearances this season.

Romanov (upper body) will be a game-time decision versus San Jose on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Romanov has missed three games since being hurt in Vegas on Jan. 9. He has nine assists in 30 games, including three helpers in his last two appearances. Should Romanov return to the lineup, Isaiah George or Dennis Cholowski could be a healthy scratch.

Romanov (upper body) will not be in action against the Flyers on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Romanov will miss his third consecutive contest due to his lingering upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 25-year-old blueliner was offering plenty of offensive upside with seven points -- all assists -- over his last eight outings. Once Romanov is given the all-clear, Dennis Cholowski will likely find himself relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch.
