""When one of your friends gets hurt on the ice, it's way more important than hockey. We get the two points. We're happy about that. But our first concern was Romy,""
""I'm going to say is [that] when you see the number, you have to lay off. Everybody knows that. You don't go through the guy," Roy said. "I was in Colorado when [Rantanen] was drafted there. It's not his style. But at the same time, that should not be part of our game.""
The NHL Department of Player Safety declined to impose supplemental discipline on Mikko Rantanen after a boarding major that resulted in his ejection. With under a minute remaining, Rantanen skated through a check and shoved Alexander Romanov in the back, driving him violently into the end boards; Romanov was helped off the ice. The Islanders said Romanov did not need to leave the arena for the hospital. Rantanen, the Stars' leading scorer with 27 points in 20 games, received a 5-minute major and automatic game misconduct. Dallas nearly tied the game late, but the Islanders won 3-2.
