Robertson (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game versus the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Midway through the first period, Robertson crashed into the boards in a collision with Ottawa's Drake Batherson, and the former got the worst of the exchange. It's a brutal way for the 19-year-old rookie's NHL debut to come to an early close. It's unclear if Robertson will be ready to go for Monday's home game versus the Jets.

Robertson will suit up in Saturday's game versus the Senators, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson is coming off a remarkable OHL season in which he scored 55 goals and added 31 assists over 46 games. The 2019 second-round pick will make his NHL debut Saturday, and he's likely in line for a bottom-six role.

Robertson was promoted from the taxi squad Saturday, David Alter of The Canadian Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson could be in line for his NHL debut in Saturday's road game against Ottawa, although it remains to be seen whether he gets the nod. The 2019 second-round pick was phenomenal in the OHL last season, racking up 55 goals and 31 helpers over 46 games. Robertson likely will play in the bottom six if he cracks the lineup.

Robertson is a healthy scratch for Sunday's Game 5 against Columbus, Dan Rosen of NHL.com
EDGE Analysis
Still just 18 years old, Robertson got his first taste of NHL action in the first four games of the series. Listed at a diminutive 5-foot-9 and 164 pounds, Robertson ran wild in the OHL this year, piling up 55 goals and 86 points in just 46 games. He averaged 12:04 in the series, recording his first ever NHL goal in Game 3, but the Leafs opted to go with a more experienced -- and physically developed -- presence for Game 5 in Andreas Johnsson, who's suiting up for the first time since February after undergoing knee surgery.

Robertson scored his first career goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss in Game 3 versus the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The 18-year-old Robertson put the Maple Leafs ahead 3-0 in the second period. The tally was Robertson's first NHL goal. The California native ranked 10th in scoring in the OHL with 55 goals and 86 points in 46 games with the Peterborough Petes. He's seen bottom-six minutes in the qualifying round series, but Robertson may challenge for a roster spot in training camp ahead of the 2020-21 season.

Robertson will be part of the Maple Leafs' expanded roster for the playoffs, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson almost certainly won't see any game action with the big club during the playoffs, but he'll undoubtedly benefit from the experience of going through an unofficial training camp with NHLers preparing for the postseason. The 2019 second-round pick had a fantastic season in the OHL this year, racking up 55 goals and 86 points in 46 games with the Peterborough Petes.

Robertson could earn a spot on the 23-man roster ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson has racked up 55 goals and 31 helpers in 46 games with OHL Peterborough this season, making a strong case to the Leafs brass to get a look ahead of next year. Filling a roster spot with a player on his entry-level contract would also help ease some of the cap burden for general manager Kyle Dubas as well. If the 18-year-old Robertson doesn't make the team, he figures to head back to juniors rather than play with AHL Toronto.

Robertson reached the 50-goal plateau in OHL Peterborough's 6-1 win over Barrie on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson finished the game with a hat trick. He now has 50 goals and a whopping 241 shots on goal in just 43 games this season. Robertson was one of the youngest players eligible for the 2019 NHL Draft, making the cutoff by just days. He inexplicably slipped to the No. 53 overall selection, where he was snatched up by the Leafs. Robertson has quickly established himself as one of the NHL's premier offensive prospects.

Robertson tallied a goal and an assist in OHL Peterborough's 4-3 win over Sault Ste. Marie on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The combination of Robertson (13 points) and fellow Toronto prospect Semyon Der-Aguchintsev (14 points) have been unstoppable in Peterborough's first six contests. The Leafs thought enough of Robertson to hand him an entry-level contract in early September, just months after they spent a second round pick on him in this past June's draft. Robertson should remain one of the OHL's top offensive weapons all season long.

Robertson inked a three-year, entry-level contract with Toronto on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson -- who was drafted by the Maple Leafs in the second round of the 2019 NHL Draft -- racked up 27 goals and 28 helpers with OHL Peterborough. The 18-year-old won't be playing in the NHL any time soon and figures to spend at least another year in juniors continuing to develop his game.
