Islanders Romanov Won't Play vs. Red Wings Due To Illness
When the New York Islanders took the ice for warmups at UBS Arena, defenseman Alexander Romanov was not on the ice. According to the team, the 24-year-old is sick, and that's why he isn't playing. There would have been a major issue had Romanov been dealing with another upper-body injury or the same one that's kept him out of the lineup for 11 games this season.
