Russia 6 - Germany 1
Romanov played an important part in the Russian squad getting the power play going.
After scoring just three goals with the man advantage during the first three games, Romanov and company scored three power play goals against the Germans.
The Canadiens' prospect picked up assists on two of those markers.
He logged 19:31 of ice time in the 6-1 victory.
Through the preliminary round, Romanov ranks among the best defensemen in the tournament with one goal and four points.
Sweden 6 - Slovakia 2
Another defenseman in the Canadiens' prospect pool was also in action on Tuesday in Mattias Norlinder.
He didn't enjoy the same success as Romanov, though. Norlinder was held off the scoresheet by Slovakia.
He did, however, log 12:37 of ice time.
It marked the 13th straight year that the Swedes owned a perfect record in preliminary round play.
