Islanders' Alexander Romanov: Practicing Friday

Romanov (upper body) was back at practice Friday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Romanov missed the last five games of the regular season, as well as the opening two games of playoffs with the injury. Romanov had two goals, 20 assists, 198 hits and 129 blocked shots in 76 games. Look for the 23-year-old to return to the lineup if he is healthy enough.
