Nicholas Robertson - NHL News & Rumors

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.

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.

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.

He's at 11 goals, 24 points, 76 shots on net, 51 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 46 appearances.

Draws assist Saturday Robertson logged an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Impact Robertson missed Tuesday's game in Utah due a lower-body injury, but that was the extent of his absence. The 24-year-old has resumed a third-line role with time on the second power-play unit. He's up to 23 points, 75 shots on net, 49 hits, 23 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 45 appearances. Robertson is just four points shy of matching his career-high effort from 56 games in 2023-24.

Returning to action against Vegas Robertson (lower body) will return to action for Thursday's game against the Golden Knights, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.

However, he's been cleared to return to the ice following a one-game absence. Across Robertson's last nine appearances, he's recorded four goals, four assists, eight hits, four blocked shots and a plus-4 rating while averaging 11:01 of ice time.

The Maple Leafs will travel to Utah after Monday's contest for a matchup against the Mammoth on Tuesday.

Eight points in last eight games Robertson scored a goal Saturday in a 5-0 win over the Canucks.

Impact He scored a power-play goal late in the third to push the score to 5-0. Robertson seems to have found real chemistry on the third line with Nicholas Roy and Easton Cowan. Robertson has three points (two goals, one assist) in his last four games and eight points, including four goals, in his last eight. He has 18 shots in those eight contests.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Six points in last five games Robertson scored a goal Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Impact Robertson has really started to warm up with six points (three goals, three assists) in his last five games and eight points, including five assists, in his last eight. That's a big leap considering Robertson had just 12 points (six goals, six assists) in his first 31 games.

JANUARY 4 • Associated Press

Three-game, five-point streak Robertson delivered two assists in a 4-0 win over the Devils on Tuesday.

Impact Opportunity is knocking for Robertson with the Leafs missing both Auston Matthews (lower body) and William Nylander (lower body) on the shelf. He's on a modest three-game, five-point streak (two goals, three assists) with 11 shots, and his ice time has increased from 9:52 to 12:54 to 14:22 on this run. Robertson has talent, and this output could be bittersweet for the young man. Any offense he shows could increase his trade value, and the Leafs are in a spot where they may be looking to load up to get back to a playoff spot. And Robertson may end up being the bait.
