The Romanov success story continues, even after seeing limited ice time this week, all down to not having a role on the special teams for CSKA. In the game against Spartak it meant that he sat out more or less the whole second period as it was full of minor penalties, and he didn’t get to play on the 3-on-3 overtime either.
Still, there were positives for Romanov’s development, and usage, as a larger portion of his TOI is spent in the offensive zone. He is also getting more confident, as illustrated in the gif below.
However, he was on the ice for his first goal against of the season this week, but while his pinch in the offensive zone wasn’t successful, he chose the right time to go forward.
