Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov will miss 5-6 months with a shoulder injury after the controversial MIkko Rantanen hit

The Islanders had already filled Romanov’s roster spot by calling up Marshall Warren, and it’s unlikely there will be more roster moves in the near future.

NEW YORK -- Dallas Stars forward Mikko Rantanen has been fined $2,000 as supplementary discipline under NHL Rule 64 (Diving/Embellishment), the National Hockey League announced today.

Dallas Stars forward Mikko Rantanen was suspended for one game after he was ejected for a boarding hit in Saturday night's game against the Calgary Flames.

In a breathtaking display of skill and athleticism, Mikko Rantanen captured the hearts of hockey fans with an extraordinary solo goal during a recent NHL match against the Vancouver Canucks. This moment not only highlighted Rantanen's prowess on the ice but also sparked a flurry of excitement and admiration across social media platforms.

Rantanen was given a five-minute major for boarding, a second five-minute major for fighting and a 10-minute game misconduct. Huberdeau received a five-minute fighting major, a two-minute instigating penalty and a 10-minute misconduct as well. The third period began with 4-on-4 play followed by three minutes of Flames power play.
