Robertson was loaned to AHL Toronto on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson drew into 15 games with the Maple Leafs before underoing shoulder surgery last season, picking up two goals and five points while averaging 10:53 of ice time over that span. Although he'll start the season in the AHL, Robertson should remain atop the list of potential call-ups for the big club throughout the 2023-24 campaign.

Robertson (shoulder) underwent shoulder surgery recently and will need six months to recover.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson's timetable rules him out for the rest of the regular season, and it suggests that he won't be an option during the playoffs either, even if the Leafs go on a deep run. He has two goals and five points in 15 contests while averaging 10:53 of ice time this season. The 21-year-old was last in the lineup Dec. 8.

Robertson (shoulder) was moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per CapFriendly
EDGE Analysis
Robertson, who hasn't played since Dec. 8, was originally slated to be out for 6-8 weeks. The move to LTIR won't impact his timetable. He has five points, 27 shots on goal and 18 hits in 15 games with the Leafs this season.

Robertson (shoulder) was moved to injured reserve Monday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson is expected to be out until at least mid-January. He has five points through 15 games this season but was on an eight-game scoreless drought prior to being injured.

Robertson (shoulder) will be out of action for 6-8 weeks, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The good news is that no surgery will be required. The 21-year-old should return around the All-Star break. It's a tough blow for Robertson, who had started to see second-line action of late with John Tavares and Mitch Marner. Robertson's spot on the second line has been taken by Denis Malgin. Robertson has two goals and five points in 15 games this season.

Robertson (shoulder) is expected to miss significant time, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.
EDGE Analysis
More details will likely be available in the coming days, but it sounds like Robertson's recovery timeline will be measured in weeks rather than days. It's a tough break for the young winger, who has five points in 15 contests this season. The 21-year-old's timeline should become clearer when the Maple Leafs provide another update.

Robertson won't return to Thursday's game versus the Kings due to a shoulder injury.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson was hurt on a hit in the first period, and it's enough to keep him out of the rest of the game. Alex Kerfoot is likely to see slightly more time with Robertson sidelined, though the severity of the rookie winger's injury isn't yet known.

Roberts delivered a team-high four hits during Wednesday's 3-1 victory over the visiting Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson, who dressed Wednesday after being designated as a healthy scratch the previous three games, played with more edge, recording a season-high in delivered checks. The 2019 second-round draft pick had four combined hits in six outings before spending the past week watching games from the pressbox. Robertson opened Wednesday on the fourth line with Zach Aston-Reese and David Kampf and generated three shots in 13:26 of ice time, including 1:32 on the power play.

Robertson was a healthy scratch again Friday against the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
He had gotten back into action Wednesday night against the Devils for the first time since Nov. 12, but found himself back in the press box Friday. Robertson has five points (two goals, three assists) in 11 games this season, but needs to be in the Leafs' top six in order to truly show what he may be able to deliver. The Leafs are deep at forward, so Robertson's chance to stick on a top line may be limited.

Robertson posted an assist in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson was a healthy scratch for the first two games of November before replacing Wayne Simmonds in the lineup Sunday. The 21-year-old Robertson was able to earn the secondary helper on John Tavares' go-ahead goal in the third period. Through seven contests, Robertson's offense has shown up easily with two goals, three assists, 11 shots on net and a plus-3 rating. He still needs to round out his game a bit more to avoid being scratched or sent down.
