Robinson scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson had five shots. The journeyman winger is on a four-game, four-point streak (three goals, one assist), and it includes a three-game goal streak. It won't last, especially with a shooting rate that's almost double (20.9) his career average of 10.8. This is a great run, but Robinson remains more valuable on the ice than in the fantasy arena.

Robinson scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson has two goals and a helper over his last three games. The 30-year-old winger is firmly in a bottom-six role for the Hurricanes, so an extended run of success on offense is unlikely. He's been known to chip in over short spans, but with 11 points, 38 shots on net, 40 hits and a plus-6 rating through 30 appearances, he doesn't stand out enough in any area to be particularly strong in fantasy.

Robinson scored a goal Saturday in a 6-4 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

He took a pass from Jordan Staal in the right circle, and he wired a one-timer five-hole on Andrei Vasilevskiy to open the scoring early in the first period. Robinson has a point in each of his last two games (one goal, one assist), and 10 points, including seven goals, in 29 games this season.

Robinson scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Facing one of his former teams, Robinson was able to snap a 10-game goal drought. He had just one helper in that span. For the season, the 30-year-old winger has been a regular on the Hurricanes' fourth line, earning eight points, 27 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-6 rating in 23 appearances. He won't often score enough to help in fantasy, but his place in the lineup looks to be mostly secure.

Robinson scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson has scored twice in five contests since returning from an upper-body injury. The 30-year-old winger saw just 6:26 of ice time as head coach Rod Brind'Amour appeared to shorten his bench in this tough matchup. Robinson is up to five goals, one assist, 15 shots on net and 13 hits over 12 appearances this season, with Saturday's outing marking the 400th regular-season game of his career.

Robinson scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson returned from a six-game absence and played 12:22 on the fourth line. That was his second-highest ice-time total this season. He's produced four goals, one assist, 12 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-5 rating through eight outings and should continue to be a decent depth forward for the Hurricanes. He likely won't sustain his current pace, but he's still a viable option in banger leagues.

Robinson (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, according to Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson is expected to center the fourth line against the Sabres, between William Carrier, who is returning from a lower-body injury, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Robinson was off to a good offensive start before the injury, tallying three goals and adding an assist in seven contests.

Robinson (upper body) has been moved to injured reserve Tuesday, according to the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported Thursday that Robinson is set for an extended absence, so his placement on injured reserve doesn't come as a surprise. The Hurricanes currently have only 12 healthy forwards on their roster, so they may call someone up from AHL Chicago in short order. Robinson has three goals and four points over seven appearances this season.

Robinson (upper body) is expected to be out for an extended period of time after leaving Thursday's game versus the Avalanche, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson and William Carrier (lower body) are both expected to be shelved for a while. Mark Jankowski will take one of the openings in the lineup, but Robinson and Carrier will likely need to land on injured reserve to accommodate roster moves for one or two depth forwards from AHL Chicago.

Robinson (upper body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

The hits just keep coming for the Hurricanes -- defenseman K'Andre Miller (lower body) was a late scratch and forward William Carrier (lower body) exited after the first period. Robinson's injury adds to the team's precarious situation during this road trip. If Robinson and Carrier are both unavailable Saturday versus the Stars, Carolina may have to play a man short or make multiple roster moves to put together a full lineup. Robinson scored a goal, his third of the season, prior to his exit.
