Miles Wood left the bench with the trainers, and there is a strong chance his night is finished. Mike McLeod jumped Romanov in retaliation, giving the Islanders a powerplay. McLeod was also assessed a game misconduct, sending the Devils down two men instead of one.
After Nico Hischier opened the scoring for the Devils, the Islanders took complete control over this game. Romanov's hit just asserted even more dominance, firing up his team in the process.
