Hurricanes' Justin Robidas: Dropped to AHL
Rotowire
Robidas was loaned to AHL Chicago on Saturday.
Robidas has one assist, two shots on goal, one blocked shot and three hits in two NHL appearances this season. His demotion to the minors probably bodes well for the availability of Jordan Staal (illness) for Sunday's matchup against Calgary, especially after Staal participated in Saturday's practice.
Robidas scored a goal and added an assist in AHL Chicago's 4-3 shootout win over Grand Rapids on Sunday.
Robidas has maintained a point-per-game pace early in the AHL campaign. He has a total of three goals and eight assists in 11 contests, with all three of those tallies coming over his last three games. The 22-year-old forward is also part of the Wolves' leadership group, which is a trait that could help his path to the NHL. He had two points in as many games for the Hurricanes back in April, and he put up 55 points in 70 regular-season outings with the Wolves in his AHL rookie campaign last year, so he's got plenty of potential even as an undersized forward.

Rotowire
Robidas was assigned to AHL Chicago on Sunday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Robidas made his NHL debut against the Red Wings on Friday and also appeared in Saturday's game against Boston. Over those two appearances, he recorded a goal, an assist and two hits while averaging 11:09 of ice time. Despite his production, he'll head back to the minors, which could mean that some of the Hurricanes' injured forwards will be ready to return soon.

Hurricanes' Justin Robidas: Secures assist in NHL debut
Rotowire
Robidas logged an assist in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
This was Robidas' NHL debut, and he set up an Eric Robinson tally in the second period for his first point. The 22-year-old Robidas was drafted in the fifth round in 2021 and signed his entry-level deal in May of 2023, so he's taken his time to develop to get to this level. This stint in the NHL is likely to be temporary, and he'll be limited to bottom-six minutes until one of Jordan Staal (lower body) or Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) is able to return. Robidas had 48 points in 65 games with AHL Chicago prior to his call-up Thursday.
