Overview
- Robertson scored his first NHL goal in a comeback win over the Canadiens, capping a four-game run in the New York lineup.
- The 24-year-old has averaged roughly 17:17 of ice time on the third pair with Will Borgen during this early-season stretch.
- Sullivan praised Robertson’s mobility, stick and physical element, while Braden Schneider said the defenseman has earned his opportunity.
- The Athletic reported it “definitely feels like” Robertson will remain a regular when Soucy is healthy, a scenario that could move Urho Vaakanainen into a seventh-defenseman role given his 15:02 average ice time.
- Elsewhere, Sportsnet reported the Senators offered Shane Pinto an eight-year extension, and former AHL MVP Phil Varone signed with Slovakia’s HK Dukla Trencin for 2025–26.
