Alexander Romanov was put on injured reserve<\/a> Thursday, Warren was called up ahead of Isaiah George \u2014 who played 33 games with the Isles last season \u2014 and when Patrick Roy decided to scratch Adam Boqvist for Saturday\u2019s game, it was the Long Island native getting his NHL debut.<\/p>\n\u201cOne I\u2019ll remember for a lifetime,\u201d Warren said. \u201cReally emotional.\u201d<\/p>\n
Most of Warren\u2019s family made the short drive down to Philadelphia to watch him. His father, though, couldn\u2019t, as he had to stay with Warren\u2019s grandfather, who is currently in the hospital.<\/p>\n

The debut itself would have been enough on its own, but Warren also recorded a pair of assists over 11:20 of ice time, which could help him stick in the lineup when the Islanders go to Boston on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The second of those, his shot from the blue line that was tipped in by Max Tsyplakov at 4:21 of the third, temporarily put the Isles ahead 3-2.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Whether or not Warren stays in the lineup is likely tied to Romanov\u2019s availability. The Russian is eligible to come off IR at any time, but it\u2019s not clear when he\u2019ll be ready to return from an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n

Warren, though, looks like he could be a factor for the Islanders.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he played really well,\u201d Roy said. \u201cGot a couple apples. He played a really good game. I was really happy for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Playing three-on-three overtime for the first time this season, the Islanders started the extra period with Matthew Schaefer, Bo Horvat and Mat Barzal on the ice together.<\/p>\n
Scott Mayfield had the first fight of the season for the Islanders, dropping gloves with Garnet Hathaway. Mayfield picked up two more penalties during the course of what was a physical game on both sides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA \u2014 Marshall Warren was a flash of Samuel Ersson\u2019s glove away from his NHL debut being a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":241249,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,5791,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-241248","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-new-york-islanders","11":"tag-nhl","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241248"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241248\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/241249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
