The Islanders’ disaster scenario came to pass on Saturday.

It’s rare to see Alexander Romanov consistently up ice for the Islanders — and he’ll be the first to tell you his focus will always be defense first.

Brock Nelson snapped a 17-game streak without a goal in the Islanders’ 4-0 win over the Golden Knights on Thursday night in Las Vegas.
