The Toronto Maple Leafs will face off against the Dallas Stars on Thursday. Nick Robertson will play his first NHL game of the 2022-23 season.
Robertson and the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing against Nick’s older brother Jason Robertson. While Jason has established himself as one of Dallas’ top scorers, Nick is still trying to earn a permanent spot on Toronto’s roster. He stood out during the preseason, scoring seven points but was ultimately sent down to the AHL because he is waiver-exempt.
With goaltender Matt Murray on long-term injury reserve (LTIR) until at least November 8th, Nick Robertson is getting an opportunity to shine.
