The New York Islanders have turned a corner on the season with great defense leading the way. They’ve allowed only seven goals in the last six games and are coming off a 3-0 shutout on Jan.

Romanov leads the Islanders with 75 hits, 6.43 hits per 60, while also leading in blocks per 60, with 6.26, while averaging the third-most minutes at 21:51 per game. With Noah Dobson now out due to injury and with no timetable for his return, Romanov will be heavily relied upon to carry out some of the workload.
