He\u2019ll be reporting to AHL Springfield, but he needs to clear waivers first. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/renlavoietva\/status\/1975989777582215527\" rel=\"nofollow\">Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports<\/a> confirms he landed on the wire today. He had been in training camp with the Devils on a PTO, and while they never confirmed they released him, today\u2019s news solidifies it.<\/p>\n<p>Romanov is entering his seventh professional season and his third in North America. The Russian netminder signed with the Sharks as an undrafted free agent in 2023 after putting together a strong resume with Gornyak-UGMK in the second-tier VHL, only getting one game of top-flight KHL action with Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg before making the jump. He enjoyed brief call-ups to San Jose in each of his two years there but was not given a qualifying offer this summer, making him an unrestricted free agent.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old brings six career starts and four relief appearances to the Blues\u2019 pipeline. He fared as expected in them for a rookie netminder behind a league-worst team, going 0-6-0 but posting a respectable .888 SV% and 3.53 GAA while cumulatively allowing 3.5 goals above expected, per <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/moneypuck.com\/goalies.htm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MoneyPuck<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Romanov did well at the AHL level, posting a 3.12 GAA and a .904 SV% with a 20-15-13 record in 50 appearances for the San Jose Barracuda over the past two years. He looks to slot in as the new AHL starter and No. 3 goalie on St. Louis\u2019 depth chart.
