Alexander Romanov will have to wait another day to take part in competitive action after Friday’s Islanders-Rangers preseason game was postponed because of flooding.
— is that following offseason shoulder surgery that led the team to take some caution in the early part of camp, Romanov was going to be on the game roster Friday and should be in on Saturday.
Each time this camp when asked about his health, Romanov has said without hesitation that he feels good, has no pain, has no lingering issues and does not intend to let his shoulder hamper him. When that understanding came, though, so too did Romanov’s own self-confidence — and the clarity that the Islanders might have dealt for a building block of their future on the draft floor in Montreal.When general manager Lou Lamoriello said before camp opened that Romanov would play with two broken legs, it was meant as the highest of compliments.
