Buries goal in loss Robertson scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Robertson ended a four-game point drought with the tally. He's been a pure finisher for the Penguins this season, though he's seen most of his playing time in the bottom six. He's up to seven goals on 33 shots while adding a plus-8 rating and 10 blocked shots. He's logged at least 14 goals in three straight years, but his fantasy value remains limited by a tough role.

Robertson then completed his big night with an empty-netter. The former Leaf is enjoying his first season with the Penguins so far, firing home six goals in 11 games, but his 28.6 percent shooting won't last and he's still looking for his first assist of 2026-27.

Stays hot with goal Robertson tallied a goal, posted a plus-2 rating and put three shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Robertson continues to prove that he was one of the Penguins' best signings in the offseason. He nabbed his fourth goal of the campaign late in the second period to begin the team's comeback chance. Overall, the 25-year-old winger is up to four goals, a plus-6 rating, 13 shots on net and three blocked shots across seven appearances. While he's moved down to the Penguins' fourth line since the return of Bryan Rust, Robertson has done more than enough to secure an everyday role for the time being. He could be on track for a career year in 2026-27 if he can surpass the 32 points he compiled across 78 regular-season outings with the Maple Leafs a season ago.

Tallies in loss Robertson scored a goal and logged two PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Robertson opened the season in a more prominent role, but the return of Bryan Rust (upper body) bumped him down to the fourth line. With three goals over four contests, Robertson has done his part so far. He has added seven shots on net, two blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-3 rating. The 25-year-old may get moved around the lineup depending on how the Penguins' lines shake out through the campaign.

Scores twice in Penguins debut Robertson tallied two goals, fired four shots on net and served two PIM in Wednesday's 7-0 Opening Night win over Philadelphia.

Impact Robertson's debut with the Penguins exceeded expectations, as he posted his first multi-goal game since April 5, 2024.

His inclusion on the Penguins' top line could be a sign that the best hockey of his career has yet to come. For now, he's an intriguing deep-league fantasy option that holds his own in category coverage.

Avoids arbitration Robertson signed a two-year, $6.5 million contract with Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Robertson had been headed for an arbitration hearing but it seems the two sides were able to work out a deal. In 78 regular-season games with the Leafs last year, the 24-year-old winger notched 16 goals and 16 assists, reaching the 30-point threshold for the first time in his career. For now, Robertson can likely be penciled in for a third-line role, but he could move up the lineup later in the year.

Why Maple Leafs-Penguins are making Nicholas Robertson trade amid brother Jason rumors | Sporting News Pittsburgh might be more focused on Jason Robertson.

JULY 1 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Getting fresh start Robertson was acquired by Pittsburgh from Toronto on Wednesday in exchange for a fourth-round pick, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Robertson set career highs in 2025-26 with 16 goals and 32 points in 78 outings with the Maple Leafs. The 24-year-old has offensive potential beyond what last season's numbers imply, and there have been stretches where he's been extremely effective. However, consistency has been a problem for Robertson, and he was never able to cement himself as a top-six forward with Toronto. A fresh start is probably what's in his best interests, but it wouldn't be surprising if he similarly struggles to maintain a top-six job with the Penguins in 2026-27.

Finds twine against brother's team Robertson scored a goal on six shots in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Stars.

Impact Robertson put the Maple Leafs ahead 5-3 in the third period. His brother, Jason Robertson, also scored in the contest, making it a happy occasion for the whole family. Toronto's Robertson has two goals over his last five games but has struggled alongside his Maple Leafs teammates late in the season. He's at a career-high 16 goals, 32 points and 127 shots on net through 77 outings this season.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Just five points in last 21 games Robertson scored a goal in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact The goal equaled his career high of 15 snipes, which he set last season. Robertson has been largely invisible since the beginning of February. He has just three goals and two assists in his last 21 games. Robertson is his brother, Jason Robertson, but he is a serviceable bottom-six guy.
