Islanders Edge Stars 3-2 on Overturned Buzzer-Beater as Romanov Leaves After Boarding

A chaotic finish overshadowed the result as Alexander Romanov was injured by a late boarding from Mikko Rantanen, prompting a likely NHL review.

Overview

  • New York improved to 5-1-0 on its seven-game road trip with a tense win in Dallas.
  • With 27.3 seconds left, Mikko Rantanen was assessed a five-minute boarding major and game misconduct for hitting Romanov, who was helped off and awaits evaluation.
  • Wyatt Johnston’s apparent tying goal at 0.1 seconds was overturned on review for goaltender interference after Jason Robertson collided with David Rittich.
  • Bo Horvat scored his 13th early in the third period before a double‑minor for high-sticking and a 10-minute misconduct ended his night.
  • Kyle Palmieri added a shorthanded goal to make it 3-1, Rittich made 22 saves, and Robertson scored both Stars goals as Patrick Roy voiced his anger over the late hit.
