"Robertson has recorded 10 goals and 22 points in 43 games this season, on pace for the best statistical output of his career. "Nicky's skating and attacking, and he's doing a lot of good things," Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said of Robertson's game in December. "Hounding everywhere, and he's getting his opportunities, scored a goal tonight, had a couple of other chances. It's all work for him, when he's skating and working, he's a good player.""
"Robertson was slow to get up, after blocking a shot from Avalanche defenceman Josh Manson during the first period. The play was eventually halted, and Robertson eventually skated to the locker room with the assistance of trainers. Robertson was later seen speaking with trainers, via Sportsnet's broadcast. Shortly before the second period, Robertson was officially ruled out of the game. Bobby McMann was moved up to the third line in Robertson's absence."
""I think all year, Robby's taken a major step in his play, and the way he plays in all facets," John Tavares said of Robertson. "When you do a lot of good things in a lot of areas, and the way he uses his speed, and has really become strong on the puck, and strong on his feet, and the way he's battling and competing"
Nick Robertson left Monday's game against the Colorado Avalanche with a lower-body injury after blocking a Josh Manson shot in the first period and did not return. He skated to the locker room with trainers' assistance and was later ruled out before the second period, prompting Bobby McMann to move up to the third line. Robertson has 10 goals and 22 points in 43 games and has developed strong chemistry with Easton Cowan and Nicolas Roy, playing some of his best hockey. Craig Berube and John Tavares praised Robertson's skating, speed, puck strength, and overall improvement. Robertson signed a one-year, $1.825 million contract in August. The Maple Leafs will provide an update on his status after the game.
