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.

OCTOBER 2 • Associated Press

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. He recorded the first goal for his new team before later adding a shorthanded tally in the third period. The 25-year-old winger had a career year with the Maple Leafs in 2025-26, where he compiled 16 goals, 32 points, 127 shots on net, 75 hits and 36 blocked shots across 78 regular-season games. 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.

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.

Secures first 30-point season Robertson scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Robertson had been limited to two assists and eight shots on net over his last eight contests. The winger ended the goal drought at 12:08 of the first period to put the Maple Leafs up 2-0 after converting on a feed from Max Domi. Robertson is up to 14 goals, 30 points, 113 shots on net, 72 hits and a minus-7 rating over 69 appearances. He's emerged as a decent middle-six forward for Toronto, but even with a career year on offense, he's only an option in deeper fantasy formats.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

First point in eight games Robertson scored a goal in a 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Impact It was Robertson's first point in eight games and first goal in nine. He has 13 goals, 14 assists and 102 shots in 60 games this season. Robertson's development isn't exactly stalled, but it's quiet. Very quiet. He's on pace to perhaps a career high 35 points, but that's certainly a long way off his 27 points in 56 games in 2023-24.

Finds twine in loss Robertson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Robertson tied the game at 1-1 in the first period, capitalizing on a Seattle turnover. The winger had gone four games without a point entering Thursday. Robertson has done pretty well in a third-line role this season, earning 12 goals, 25 points, 81 shots on net, 55 hits and a minus-3 rating through 51 appearances. That's enough production to put him in consideration in deeper fantasy formats.

The 24-year-old winger has done fine in January with five points and 11 shots on net over nine outings, mainly in a third-line role. He's at 11 goals, 24 points, 76 shots on net, 51 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 46 appearances.
