Nick Robertson responds amid recently-debunked healthy scratch rumors
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson came into this season with a lot to prove to his new head coach, Craig Berube.
After not getting a ton of ice time last season, it was looking like Robertson was angling for a trade. However, that trade never actually came. Instead, the Leafs signed the young potential star, and the rest was history.
Unfortunately, Robertson has gotten off to a slow start for the Leafs. He is not living up to the expectations, and fans are certainly getting just a tad bit frustrated. In fact, on Monday night, he was a scratch against the Winnipeg Jets.
During a scrum with the media, Robertson noted that being a scratch is just part of the game.
On Wednesday, the lines at practice suggested that Robertson would be scratched again. However, in the report above, it was made clear that Robertson will actually play tonight. Which is certainly good news.
Meanwhile, in that same reporter scrum, Robertson admitted that he has had bad luck to start the year. Regardless, he is confident in his abilities and he thinks he can eventually get back to greatness.
Tonight will be the perfect opportunity for Robertson to prove people wrong and get back on the score sheet. The Leafs play the Seattle Kraken, who just won against the Seattle Kraken, who just won against the Montreal Canadiens 8-2. Toronto comes into the game with a 5-4-1 record.
