Alexander Romanov (everyday, upper body) will miss Saturday’s game, while Adam Boqvist will make his season debut.
Boqvist will skate in Romanov’s place on the left side with Tony DeAngelo, giving the Islanders a different look at this duo.
“[They’re] “It’s more about puck movement and skill,” said head coach Patrick Roy. “But they’re both really good hockey players, so I’m sure they’ll find a way to make their mark here today.”
Boqvist played in 17 games with the Islanders last season, recording eight points (2G, 6A).
