Robinson will return to the lineup Thursday versus the Islanders, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson hasn't played since Jan. 31 against the Panthers due to a knee injury, but he's expected to return to a bottom-six role against the Isles. The 26-year-old American has picked up six goals and 17 points through 42 games this campaign.

Robinson (knee) was activated off injured reserve Wednesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson is set to rejoin the lineup for the first time since Jan. 31 versus the Panthers, a stretch of 14 games on IR. Considering the 26-year-old winger managed just one point in his previous eight outings, few fantasy players will be impacted by his return to a bottom-six role.

Robinson (knee) was designated for injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Robinson isn't expected back until mid-March, his placement on IR was just a formality. The winger has just one point in his last eight contests while averaging 13:40 of ice time. When the New Jersey native does return to action, he figures to slot into a bottom-six role and shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.

Robinson is expected to be sidelined for approximately six weeks with the MCL sprain in his right knee he suffered during Monday's loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson, who's picked up 17 points through 42 games this season, will likely be sidelined until mid-March at a minimum. Given the length of his expected absence, look for Robinson to land on injured reserve in the coming days.

Robinson scored a shorthanded goal on five shots, doled out five hits and added a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson extended the Blue Jackets' lead to 3-1 midway through the first period, and his goal chased Canadiens netminder Samuel Montembeault from the contest. The goal, his second career shorthanded tally, snapped a 13-game drought for Robinson, who added just four assists in that span. The 26-year-old winger is more of a defensive presence in the Blue Jackets' bottom six. He has 17 points, 58 shots on net, 43 hits and a plus-2 rating through 41 outings.

Robinson cleared COVID-19 protocols and practiced Friday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson had been in protocols since Dec. 20, so he didn't miss any game action. The 26-year-old, who has five goals and seven assists in 28 games this season, should be in the lineup Saturday against Carolina.

Robinson entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson, along with Andrew Peeke and Joonas Korpisalo, were placed in the league's protocols bringing the team total to six and leading to the cancelation of the Jackets' next two contests. The 26-year-old Robinson has been rolling lately with three goals and three helpers in his last seven contests and will look to maintain his peak form whenever cleared to return.

Robinson produced an assist and two hits in Monday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson set up Alexandre Texier for the empty-net goal late in the third period. The 26-year-old Robinson has quietly put together a four-game point streak with one goal and three helpers. He's mainly served in a bottom-six role this year, and the American is up to six points, 16 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-2 rating through 13 contests.

Robinson scored the game-tying goal and had two shots Saturday in a 2-1 overtime win over the Kraken. He also had three hits.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson was the first Blue Jacket to solve Seattle netminder Philipp Grubauer, breaking in alone and picking the top corner to tie things up midway through the third period. It was the first goal of the year for Robinson, who lit the lamp a career-high eight times in 56 games last season.

Robinson grabbed a two-year, $3.2 million contract extension from Columbus on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson set new career highs in goals (eight), assists (10), games played (56) and average ice time (12:24) this past season. While his offensive production won't make him a top-end fantasy target, the 26-year-old winger could be a decent low-end fantasy target, especially in deeper formats, as he fills a bottom-six role for Columbus this year.
