Referee Romasko became the first Russian and second European to work an NHL game Monday night.
Last night, Evgeny Romasko of Tver, Russia has worked his first regular NHL season game when the Edmonton Oilers visited the Detroit Red Wings at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, MI.
He was joined on the ice by fellow referee Paul Devorski, linesmen Derek Amell and Steve Barton. Evgeny became the first Russian and second European to work an NHL game Monday night.
