EAST MEADOW, N.Y. (AP) — New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov has a torn ACL in his right knee and is expected to be out 6-8 months, the team announced Wednesday.
Romanov, 26, is set to have surgery after getting injured Tuesday night in a 5-2 loss at the Rangers. He got tangled up with Mika Zibanejad during the third period and did not play the final 12 minutes.

It is the second consecutive season Romanov has been sidelined by a long-term injury. A shoulder injury from a hit by Dallas’ Mikko Rantanen last November caused Romanov to miss the final five months.
Counting three games this fall, Romanov has skated in a total of 18 since signing an eight-year, $50 million contract in the summer of 2025.
