The Toronto Marlies winger — and one of many Maple Leafs’ high prospects — will probably be out of the motion for at least 10 weeks after he suffered a non-displaced fracture of his proper fibula on Sunday in opposition to Manitoba.
Robertson fell awkwardly to the ice as he fought for the puck in the course of the Marlies’ 5-0 loss versus the Moose on Sunday afternoon at Coca-Cola Coliseum. The Marlies tweeted that Robertson won’t require surgical procedure.
The most recent damage setback for the 20-year-old Robertson comes after he endured a number of accidents in the course of the shortened 2020-21 season. Robertson suffered a knee damage, had a lingering groin-abdominal challenge and suffered a concussion. Consequently, he by no means was in a position to get utterly on monitor. In six video games with the Leafs, Robertson had one help, and in 21 video games with the Marlies, he had 5 objectives and 11 assists.
In two video games this season, Robertson, the Leafs’ second-round choose in 2019 (53rd total) has two assists.
The Leafs are scheduled to practise on Tuesday on the Ford Efficiency Centre following a 2-1 additional time loss in opposition to the New York Rangers on Monday.
