Among the interesting names to watch out for in this NHL pre-season schedule is that of young defenseman Alexander Romanov, who was traded this summer to the New York Islanders by the Montreal Canadiens.
Not only did he pick up a point, but according to the very advanced data compiled by HockeyStatCards, Romanov was excellent all night. He was even the Islanders' fifth best player overall and second best defenseman.
Romanov, 22, was drafted 38th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in 2018. He collected three goals and 13 points, in 79 games, last season with the CH, for a differential of -9.
