The 24-year-old Daws was excellent in a limited stint with the Devils last season, posting a 1.60 GAA and .939 SV% in six appearances (3-1-0). The Devils enter Wednesday's contest as -129 home favorites against a 3-3-1 Wild team.

Romanov did not play in the Islanders' previous game, but he was back at practice on Monday. The 25-year-old Romanov has 12 blocks and 15 hits through four games this season. He will be a game-time decision when the Islanders return to action on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks.
