Alexander Romanov shines in Islanders' win over Golden Knights

Alexander Romanov played a key role in the New York Islanders' 4-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights, contributing offensively while maintaining strong defensive play. This marked only the second time this season he scored multiple points in a game. Romanov's performance included a notable hip check and solid defense against the Golden Knights' top line. Coach Patrick Roy noted that Romanov can join offensive plays as long as he remains strong in defense. The Islanders have won six of seven games where Romanov has contributed, despite him having only nine points this season. The team is currently in Utah for their first trip to the state.
