Nicholas Robertson Desperate To Stay Healthy In 2023-24
Toronto Maple Leafs winger Nicholas Robertson is eager to leave injuries behind him and kickstart his NHL career. "The show goes on," the 21-year-old told TSN. "The secret to success for me is just being healthy." Following an impressive preseason, Robertson played just 15 times in the NHL last term, sustaining a shoulder injury in December, which needed surgery. "Since the season's been done I was like, 'Ok, it's a fresh start,' and I'm just excited and ready to go," Robertson added. Through his first 31 NHL appearances, Robertson had registered three goals and four assists. With Tyler Bertuzzi and Max Domi arriving in town, he faces an uphill battle in trying to secure a spot on a scoring line next season.

Denis Malgin has moved to Robertson's spot on the second in practice, and he looks set to remain there for Saturday's tilt against Calgary.
