The prodigal son Nick Robertson has been recalled to the Toronto Maple Leafs main roster.
Since being sent back down to the Marlies by the Toronto Maple Leafs, Robertson has been on a tear; scoring 12 goals and seven assists in 17 games in the AHL.
Robertson wasn’t able to cement a role for himself with the big club his last time up as he struggled to earn ice time and rarely saw action above the fourth line. He has one point in nine games with the Leafs so far this season.
Let’s put this to bed: Robertson can’t just be thrown on the fourth line in the playoffs.
