NHL Declines Supplemental Discipline for Stars’ Mikko Rantanen After Romanov Boarding

The league review cited pre-contact with Scott Mayfield.

Overview

  • The Department of Player Safety is not issuing supplemental discipline, leaving Rantanen eligible for Dallas’ game in Vancouver on Thursday.
  • Rantanen received a five-minute major and automatic game misconduct for shoving Alexander Romanov into the end boards in the final minute.
  • The Islanders offered no firm update on Romanov, who did not require a hospital visit, with concern noted due to his prior shoulder surgery.
  • Islanders coach Patrick Roy denounced the play as disrespectful, while Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said Rantanen was off-balance after contact from Scott Mayfield.
  • If Romanov cannot go on the trip, reporters noted Adam Boqvist is available to step in, with potential minor-league call-ups under consideration.
