DETROIT \u2014 The Islanders likely will be dealing with the fallout of\u00a0 Mikko Rantanen\u2019s hit on Alexander Romanov<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0for a while with the defenseman expected to miss a significant amount of time with an upper-body injury. <\/p>\n

The immediate results were Adam Boqvist entering Thursday night\u2019s lineup against the Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena and Laurel Hollow\u2019s\u00a0Marshall Warren<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0being recalled from AHL Bridgeport for his second stint with the Islanders this season. He did not dress as the Islanders concluded a seven-game road trip that started 5-1-0. <\/p>\n

\u201cAlways being consistent, that\u2019s the biggest thing,\u201d Warren told Newsday of the lessons from his first two NHL games \u2014 in which he had two assists \u2014 with the Islanders from Oct. 25-28. \u201cYou always have to be on your top level. Be consistent mentally, locked in. That was the biggest thing I learned.\u201d <\/p>\n

Romanov, who was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday and was in the press box at Little Caesars Arena with his right arm in a sling on Thursday,\u00a0\u00a0was hurt late in Tuesday\u2019s 3-2 win in Dallas<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0as Rantanen hit him into the end wall from behind. He drew a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct but earned no further NHL discipline while leaving the Islanders, particularly coach Patrick Roy, livid.<\/p>\n

Roy appeared to scream at Rantanen from the bench that he would not make it through the teams\u2019 rematch at UBS Arena on March 26. <\/p>\n

\u201cI never meant to do that,\u201d Rantanen said on Wednesday, adding that he tried to reach out to Romanov. \u201cI\u2019ve never done that my whole career. I play hard but never try to be dirty on purpose. I got clipped a little bit [by Scott Mayfield] and kept falling forward. An unfortunate moment, but never really meant to do it. Hopefully he\u2019s not too bad.\u201d <\/p>\n

Roy said he had no update on Romanov\u2019s status but that there will be more information once he is examined by team doctors on Friday after the Islanders return to Long Island. <\/p>\n

As for Rantanen\u2019s explanation, it did not exactly mollify the Islanders. <\/p>\n

\u201cI can understand that he\u2019s not that type of player,\u201d Anders Lee said. \u201cBut it happened, you know? We\u2019ve got to protect our guys. You have an onus coming in to be as in control as you can. I understand the bump and he was off balance. It\u2019s a bad result.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t see [Rantanen\u2019s explanation],\u201d defenseman Adam Pelech said. \u201cAnd honestly, I try not to really think about that side of that. It stinks to lose Romy, we don\u2019t know for how long yet. It was ugly. It was tough to watch on the ice. It\u2019s tough to lose him for however long he\u2019s out for.\u201d <\/p>\n

Romanov, in the first season of an eight-year, $50 million deal, started slowly this season with one assist in 15 games but had been playing better defensively on the road trip. <\/p>\n

The Islanders will miss his imposing physical presence, something the slick-skating Boqvist, a righthander who will play on his off-side, does not bring. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think you try to replace [Romanov],\u201d Roy said. \u201cEverybody brings something different and Adam brings something different. He\u2019s a good puck mover, he can jump in the rush and we want him to defend well.\u201d <\/p>\n

Boqvist entered Thursday with no points in six games and has yet to play more than three straight games this season. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating,\u201d he said. \u201cLike everyone, you want to play every night. I\u2019m trying to stay positive and have a good work ethic. Trying to work hard and be a good teammate and when the opportunity comes, I\u2019m ready.\u201d <\/p>\n

Warren is a lefthander, so Roy eventually might feel more comfortable with him in the lineup. He has two goals and seven assists in 10 games for Bridgeport in his third season in the Islanders\u2019 organization. <\/p>\n

Notes & quotes: No. 1 overall pick Matthew Schaefer confirmed that he\u2019s been added to Team Canada\u2019s International Olympic Committee list of at least 90 players under consideration for February\u2019s Winter Games in Italy, which includes a drug testing protocol. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty cool,\u201d Schaefer told Newsday. \u201cYou don\u2019t really think about it, though. I\u2019m still just focused on my game and our team here. It\u2019s just extra noise.\u201d . . . Forward Simon Holmstrom returned to the lineup after missing one game because of illness . . . Forwards Max Tsyplakov and Kyle MacLean joined Warren as healthy scratches.<\/p>\n
