European Prospect Report: Alexander Romanov shows offensive skills with Russian Olympic Team

In a busy week Montreal’s Tsar-in-waiting, Romanov played three games for two different teams: one with CSKA in the KHL and two internationals with the Russian Olympic (development) Team, which met Belarus and Slovakia for the Kaufland Cup in Bratislava. Impressively for the young defender, he got an assist in each of the three games to finish this week with a three-point haul.

In the KHL, Romanov stepped up to release a shot that led to the goal after his teammate Popov sent the puck to Shalunov. Romanov created the chance himself as he entered the zone and let his shot go.
