Alexander Romanov, correctly, called it a clean hit.
Miles Wood was skating through the middle of the ice, the Islanders leading by two in the middle of the second period on Friday night. Romanov laid him out — emphatically, but legally — and chaos ensued.
That was the biggest moment of the game for Romanov, in what was almost certainly his best performance as an Islander to date. With Adam Pelech nursing an upper-body injury, Romanov was second only to his partner, Scott Mayfield, with 24:45 of ice time — including a sizable chunk against New Jersey’s high-powered line of Tomas Tatar, Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt.
