The Penguins have acquired Nick Robertson from the Maple Leafs for a 2028 4th Round Pick.

Robertson joins the Pittsburgh Penguins and GM Kyle Dubas, who was part of the team responsible for drafting Robertson in the second round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 24-year-old Robertson was never able to establish himself as a full-time top-six forward with the Maple Leafs and hopes to have better luck in a fresh start with his new team. Robertson had 32 points (16G / 16A) in 78 games last season.

Robertson will be a healthy scratch on Monday vs. Philadelphia.

Steven Lorentz will draw into Toronto's lineup on Monday against the Philadelphia Flyers, sending Robertson to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Robertson has 26 points (12G / 14A) in 57 games this season, but has been held off the scoresheet in five straight games.

Robertson (lower-body) will return to Toronto's lineup in Vegas on Thursday.

Robertson suffered a lower-body injury early in Monday's game against the Colorado Avalanche, exiting the contest after just two shifts. The 24-year-old has 22 points (10G / 12A) in 43 games this season and will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Robertson left Toronto’s game on Monday vs. Colorado with a lower-body injury and did not return.

Robertson suffered a lower-body injury early in Monday's game against the Colorado Avalanche, exiting the contest after just two shifts. The 24-year-old Robertson was pacing for career-best offensive totals before his injury, but an update has not yet been provided on the severity. He has 22 points (10G / 12A) in 43 games this season.

Robertson is expected to be a healthy scratch vs. Tampa Bay on Monday.

Calle Jarnkrok will draw back into Toronto's lineup on Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, sending Robertson to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Robertson has 12 points (6G / 6A) in 27 games and is pacing for career-best offensive totals, but has still lacked the consistency the Maple Leafs have hoped for. He has one point (1G / 0A) in his last nine games.

Robertson willl be a healthy scratch in Buffalo on Friday.

Robertson has appeared in all seven games for the Maple Leafs this season, but has only recorded a single point (0G / 1A), and will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch on Friday against the Buffalo Sabres. The 24-year-old Robertson was the subject of trade talks in the offseason and has yet to truly make his mark at the NHL level.

The Maple Leafs have signed Nick Robertson to a one-year extension worth $1.825M.

Robertson played primarily in a bottom-6 role again in 2024-25, leading to just 22 points (15G / 7A) in 69 games while averaging just 12:00 TOI per game. With many offseason additions, like Matias Maccelli, Nicolas Roy and Dakota Joshua, Robertson will once again find himself in a battle for playing time in the Maple Leafs' bottom-6 in 2025-26.

Robertson will be a healthy scratch for Game 6 in Florida on Friday.

Robertson was Toronto's only goal scorer in Game 5, but will take a seat in the press box for Game 6 on Friday in Florida as Pontus Holmberg returns to the lineup. Robertson has only appeared in three postseason games this year, but still has an impressive 2 points (1G/1a) in 3 games played, despite receiving only 9:59 TOI/GP.
