Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Keeps productive stretch alive
Rotowire
Robinson notched a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Robinson wasn't much of a scoring threat in the first few games of the season, but he's turning things around in recent games. This was his first multi-point effort of the campaign, and he's up to five points (three goals, two assists) in five November appearances.

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. A second-line role at even strength is working out for the 29-year-old, who has mostly played in the bottom-six throughout his career. 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.

Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

The 29-year-old winger is up to six points through 11 outings this season, and he's added 14 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-9 rating.

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.

Rotowire
Robinson scored an empty-netter with 1:17 left in the third period during Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
Robinson closed things out for the Hurricanes late in the fourth period and took advantage of the fact that the Flames were all out on the attack to drill a wrist shot into the empty goal. It was his first goal of the season for the 29-year-old winger, who's now recorded points in three of his last four contests.

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.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Notches assist Friday
Rotowire
Robinson produced an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
The helper was Robinson's first point in three appearances this season. The 29-year-old winger is an established fourth-liner, though he had a rough 2023-24 with 10 points over 47 outings between the Sabres and the Blue Jackets. He's added four shots on net, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating to begin his Hurricanes career, but he's unlikely to score enough to make an impact in fantasy.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Three-point effort against Preds
Rotowire
Robinson scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added an assist in Saturday's preseason victory over Nashville.
After helping to set up Josiah Slavin for Carolina's first tally early in the second period, Robinson broke open a 3-3 tie with a pair of tallies inside the final three minutes of the third. The 29-year-old winger is expected to fill a bottom-six role in his first campaign with the Hurricanes, and he's unlikely to make a big offensive impact -- Robinson managed three goals and 10 points over 47 NHL games last season split between the Blue Jackets and Sabres.

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.

Blue Jackets' Eric Robinson: Back from injury
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.

Blue Jackets' Eric Robinson: Officially done for season
Rotowire
Robinson (upper body) will not play in the Jackets' final two games, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
Robinson will see his season end having played in a career-high 72 contests in which he tallied 12 goals, 12 assists and 98 shots while averaging 13:57 of ice time. Looking ahead to next season, the winger figures to serve primarily in a bottom-six role where his ceiling is likely in the 25-30 point range given he has never reached the 30-point mark in his six-year NHL career.
