Rangers Daily: ‘Team game’s been great;’ Brutal injury news for Islanders

Mika Zibanejad praised the New York Rangers' cohesive play following a 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders, which extended the Rangers' winning streak to four games. Meanwhile, the Islanders received devastating injury news, as defenseman Alexander Romanov will undergo knee surgery and miss six to eight months after suffering an injury in the third period of Tuesday's loss.

Romanov's injury reportedly occurred following a check by Zibanejad, adding another long layoff after he missed most of the prior season with shoulder surgery. Elsewhere around the league, Edmonton Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard tied an NHL record by scoring six goals in his first four games, and Montreal Canadiens goaltender Sam Montembeault was sidelined following a practice injury.
