Marshall Warren Poised for Islanders Call-Up Amidst Romanov Injury Concerns

Marshall Warren is the likely call-up for the New York Islanders if defenseman Alexander Romanov misses time due to his recent upper-body injury. The Long Island native was considered Bridgeport's (AHL) top defenseman during his initial call-up, and this season he has accumulated nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 10 AHL games, including four assists in six games since returning from a previous NHL stint. Warren is positioned to bolster the Islanders' defense, especially with fellow prospect Isaiah George currently sidelined with an upper-body injury, making him the prime candidate to fill any defensive void.
