"Nick Robertson made the most of an expanded role in the Toronto Maple Leafs' recent 4-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils, continuing a stretch of strong play that is becoming harder to overlook. Given increased ice time in the win, Robertson again delivered effective, consistent play, reinforcing the idea that he has earned an expanded role as coach Craig Berube evaluates his lineup options."
"Roberston was a key factor in the Maple Leafs' win versus New Jersey. First, he deftly intercepted a Devils' clearing attempt nearing the end of Toronto's second power play of the first period and found a curling Bobby McMann in the high slot. McMann beat Devils' goaltender Jacob Markstrom to give the Leafs a lead they would not relinquish."
Nick Robertson received increased ice time and an expanded role and produced consistent, effective play that helped Toronto win 4-0 over the New Jersey Devils. The team lost Auston Matthews and Chris Tanev to late injuries and again did not dress William Nylander, so other players had added responsibility. Robertson intercepted a clearing attempt to set up Bobby McMann's go-ahead goal and later fed McMann on a power-play sequence that led to Nicolas Roy's tap-in. Robertson's speed through the neutral zone improved offensive-zone entries on the man advantage. He also scored in Detroit, showing renewed shooting confidence.
