Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Three points in victory
Rotowire
Robinson generated a goal on his only shot and added two assists Sunday in a 4-1 win over St. Louis.
Robinson scored his fifth goal of the season in the middle frame before registering the primary helper on each of Martin Necas' tallies. Robinson has recorded two multi-point performances over his last four games after having none through the first 13 contests of the campaign. The 29-year-old has fit in well on Carolina's second line alongside Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Necas -- Robinson has logged five goals, seven assists and a plus-11 rating across 17 outings. After banking 10 points over 47 regular-season games split between Buffalo and Columbus in 2023-24, Robinson has already surpassed that number with his new club.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Finds twine again
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.
Robinson has scored in back-to-back games and has four points over his last five outings.

He has seven points, 15 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-10 rating over 12 contests in 2024-25, and with the balance in the Hurricanes' offense, he could continue to be a steady contributor.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Provides helper
Rotowire
Robinson notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.
Robinson continues to see even-strength minutes on the second line, and it's paying off. He has yet to finish with a minus rating this season, and he's collected a goal, four assists, 13 shots on net, 13 hits, four PIM and a plus-9 rating through 10 appearances. Robinson likely can't keep up this scoring pace, but he's a streaming option for fantasy managers in need of plus-minus, hits or PIM.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Adds helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Robinson provided an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
Robinson has a helper in two of the last three games, but he remains in a fourth-line role. The 29-year-old winger has added eight hits, six shots on net, four PIM and a plus-3 rating through five appearances. If his offense takes a step forward this year, he could be a streaming option in favorable matchups, but he's unlikely to be consistent with scoring.

Blue Jackets' Eric Robinson: Pots GWG for first goal of season
Rotowire
Robinson scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 2-1 victory over the Devils.
All the scoring came in the first period, and Robinson's tally came with just 37 seconds left in the frame -- Justin Danforth found him wide open at the New Jersey blue line with a pass from the Columbus end, and Robinson finished his breakaway by going top shelf over Akira Schmid's glove. It was Robinson's first NHL goal of the season in three games. He has spent most of the season with AHL Cleveland. Robinson, who had 12 goals in 72 games last season, offers decent depth to the organization, but as the Blue Jackets improve their talent base with additions such as Adam Fantilli and Dmitri Voronkov, players like Robinson get squeezed out of regular roles.

Rotowire
Robinson (upper body) took the ice for Thursday's practice at Blue Jackets camp, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Robinson missed the last three games of 2022-23 with the injury, but it was never a long-term concern. The 28-year-old winger eclipsed the 20-point mark for the second year in a row with 12 goals and 12 assists in 72 games last campaign, but he'll likely be confined to a bottom-six role in 2023-24.

Rotowire

The checking-line winger tickled twine in each period, including an empty-netter in the final minute to squash Buffalo's comeback attempt. Robinson came into Tuesday with only five goals and 15 points on the season, so a repeat performance isn't likely, but he is now two goals short of tying the career-high 10 he set in 2021-22.
