As training camp opened, this September, the Dallas Stars announced Jason Robertson would miss the majority of camp and the preseason after undergoing foot surgery to remove a cyst during the offseason. “Majority”, as it turned out, meant not joining practice until opening night was less than two weeks away and not partaking in a single preseason game. Not to worry, however! The last time Robertson sat out camp and preseason he set the Stars franchise record for points in a season with a 46 goal, 109 point campaign and finished fourth in Hart Trophy voting. Maybe getting a late start on the season would help him bounce back after a somewhat disappointing 2023-24 season.
