The 21-year-old scored his third and fourth career goals, including the overtime winner.
The Leafs had plenty of time in the Dallas end — they just didn’t seem to know what to do when they got there. “He plays in a lot of different situation, but primarily, he’s a shut down guy who plays big penalty kill. “Muzzin is obviously a big part of our team and our D-core,” said Mark Giordano. The Leafs might have thought they dodged a bullet when Dallas coach Pete DeBoer decided to start Scott Wedgewood for the first time this season. There was very little to like about the Leafs’ effort in the first period, down 1-0 and outshot 11-6 by the time it was over. And on Thursday, the Stars successfully challenged a goal initially disallowed on goalie interference. But the first unit seemed to bumble every opportunity, whether it was losing the opening faceoff, failing to gain the zone easily, or simply overpassing. Robertson’s first goal came just seconds after a Dallas penalty expired, so it wasn’t officially a power-play goal, but the result of the hard work of the second power-play unit. “A lot can happen in this industry and I’m just happy.” Getting in a scoring position this season has been remarkably difficult for the team’s elite stars — like Matthews and Mitch Marner. The Leafs lost their second video review in two games. He had the Rocket Richard Trophy winner going down the ice and he (Matthews) gets all the attention of the goalie and moves it over for Nick to finish it.
Not a lot seemed to go right for Toronto's top line, but Auston Matthews was on hand to play support to the star of the game when it mattered most.
Nick Robertson!!!! Nick Roberston!!! [pic.twitter.com/pqvnMa9SMF] [October 21, 2022] Leafs go to the power play with just over a minute left. It’s a point of view I don’t share on these. The puck goes in, but it’s waved off on the ice. Wow, Robertson just misses on a mixed up line with Engvall and Nylander. Jason Robertson hits Marner behind the net and it ends up as interference because he’s just too far behind the puck. Luckily it’s only a few seconds long, so the Stars don’t score. Oh, that’s a Leafs power play. The Stars cut it short with a penalty of their own, however. The Leafs are doing well, but no one would call this exciting.
TORONTO — Nick Robertson scored his second goal of the night in his season debut at 3:46 of overtime as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Dallas Stars 3-2 on Thursday. The winger took a pass from Auston Matthews on a 3-on-1 rush and fired past Scott ...
Kerfoot had a potential tying goal negated late Monday against Arizona for a hand pass by Toronto defenceman Morgan Rielly that left Keefe annoyed in his post-game media availability. The play was initially waved off for goaltender interference, but Stars head coach Pete DeBoer challenged the call. A native of nearby Woodbridge, Ont., Mete had the game's first shot on a short-handed 2-on-1 in the first and made a couple of nice reads in the second to create scoring chances for his team. TORONTO — Nick Robertson scored his second goal of the night in his season debut at 3:46 of overtime as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Dallas Stars 3-2 on Thursday. Nick Robertson scored his second goal of the night in his season debut at 3:46 of overtime as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Dallas Stars 3-2 on Thursday. Dallas got back even at 7:21 on a power play when Seguin fired from in close for his second off a nice feed from former Leafs winger Mason Marchment after Kerfoot went to the box for delay of game.
One day, Nick Robertson could be a consistently elite player for the Maple Leafs.
After a lengthy review and meeting between referees Ghislain Hebert and Michael Markovic, the goal stood. The game was the first for the Leafs since Keefe called out his elite players on Monday after a loss against lowly Arizona. Dallas lost for the first time, falling to 3-0-1. Great to watch and a massive two goals for us.” COLE BURSTON/THE CANADIAN PRESSThere’s no reason for the Leafs to deny Robertson, who played on a line with captain John Tavares and William Nylander, a healthy opportunity to prove his worth. A return pass from Matthews, who drew Wedgewood’s attention away from Robertson, resulted in the winner.
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Dallas Stars put on one Hell of an entertaining game this evening in the Battle of the Robertson Brothers.
He strips Jamie Benn and makes it look easy and then gets up ice to get himself in position. But more than that, how about the backcheck!? The Toronto Maple Leafs and Dallas Stars put on one Hell of an entertaining game this evening in the Battle of the Robertson Brothers.
Robertson scored two goals, including the game winner in overtime, in a 3-2 win over Dallas on Thursday. Robertson made the most of his time in the top six.
• Then Robertson teamed with Auston Matthews and Morgan Rielly on a three-on-one in overtime and one-timed a dish from Matthews at the right face-off dot to seal the win. He took a pass from Michael Bunting and wired it past Scott Wedgewood from the slot.
In his season debut, Robertson helped Toronto respond to the loss to the Coyotes.
… [Victor Mete](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/victor-mete-0bcPcpBPCTRUMzZM/) had some jump and didn’t look all that out of place in his first game for the Leafs. You could make a case for giving the Leafs an A- here, given that they played well enough and came away with the win, but there’s still just an extra gear this team has that they’ve yet to hit so far. He had eight(!) shots on goal. If we’re ranking elements of this Leafs team in terms of aesthetic value, Marner’s persistence on the penalty kill is high up the list for me. He logged a massive 27:16 TOI, leading all Leafs, and had a secondary assist on the overtime game-winning goal. I thought Matthews saved his best for the end of the game, when he started to look more creative with the puck. Sandin seemed uber-comfortable skating into the offensive zone while constantly looking for a smart pass, and looked just as comfortable defensively. I’ve noticed his game behind the net more and more this season. Samsonov stopped 26 of 28 shots and has now won all three of his starts for the Leafs. In the first period, Kerfoot used his stick well to create chaos defensively. Nick Robertson: "You kinda dream of this stuff, to score an overtime winner in the NHL. And with his family in Scotiabank Arena watching on, Nick Robertson was central to that effort.
Robertson scored his second and third NHL goals after getting the call to play left wing on a line with captain John Tavares and William Nylander.
Despite a slow start – with Toronto putting just six pucks on the opposition net in the first period – the Leafs eventually got to Wedgewood in the second, with Alex Kerfoot grabbing his first of the season on a power play before Robertson beat him in the third with his first of his two goals. In his place, DeBoer decided to give Brampton, Ont., native Scott Wedgewood his first action of the season in front of his friends and family. Robertson said he would have scarcely believed it had someone told him a week ago he’d be scoring an overtime winner, but “you never know what can happen in this industry.” His choice of word – industry as opposed to “game,” or “sport” – was telling in his postgame comments. But as competitive as the sibling rivalry is between the two brothers, the younger Robertson has learned to look past his brother six months on from their first encounter on NHL ice. With the Stars in town, the contest also meant another chance for Robertson to lock horns with older brother Jason, who has two years in age and six inches in height on his younger sibling. Playing left wing on a line with captain John Tavares and William Nylander – in place of Denis Malgin, the man who took his roster spot as training camp broke – Robertson would likely have been happy just to make his Leafs’ season debut.
The 21-year-old scored his second goal of the night in his season debut at 3:46 of overtime Thursday as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Dallas Stars 3-2.
"I want to play well and help the team. "I don’t know the rules anymore," said Marner, who was also in the middle of the review controversy three nights earlier. "He's dynamic offensively," Kerfoot said. "He gets all the attention of the goalie and moves it over for Nick to finish it. But we found a way." The play was initially waved off for goaltender interference, but DeBoer challenged the call. "It was exciting," Robertson said. Kerfoot had a potential late tying goal negated Monday against Arizona because of a hand pass by Toronto defenceman Morgan Rielly. "Our special teams weren't great. "It's been ups and down,” he said of the last few weeks. that was tough. "A terrific moment."
Just a few days ago, Nick Robertson was stuck in the minor leagues -- through no fault of his own. Now, he's an overtime hero for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
It is more so about managing the media than the players.” “I was just excited. But unlike in pre-season, he didn’t blindly douse assistant coach Spencer Carbery’s suit this time — a faux pas Robertson has committed multiple times, much to Carbery’s chagrin. “Earning power plays is one of them. “He’s a good shooter. “I don’t want to participate. I think it’s his year.” “Unbelievable. “It’s his third year pro. I mean, it’s just the way it is. The feisty, undersized left winger was largely relegated to the farm. “It’s just this whole business is all business.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will face off against the Dallas Stars on Thursday. Nick Robertson will play his first NHL game of the 2022-23 season.
He made a statement in the preseason and is looking to make an even bigger statement in the regular season. Tavares is leading the team in points with five, and Nylander is leading the team in goals with three. While his brother is off to a good start with five points in three games for Dallas, Robertson will be looking for his first point of the season. Helping the Maple Leafs win and beating your brother to do it would be a great first game of the season for Robertson. They have started the 2022-23 season with a 3-0-0 record while scoring 13 goals and only allowing three goals. Beating the Dallas Stars will not be easy.
After being demoted in training camp, he scored two goals, including the overtime winner, in his 2022-23 season debut.
That opened the door for Robertson to play next to [William Nylander](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/william-nylander-TTskHMdFinH0gM1n/) and [John Tavares](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/john-tavares-XRlpFavIyLChpjMR/) on the Leafs’ second line. The Leafs also appear to miss the game-breaking goal threat that Mikheyev and “But now, for me, it’s just to keep going, keep fighting, and earning every day.” They were the one line that actually clicked for the Leafs in a much-needed win. Robertson might just be the best internal option for making it work. Otherwise, a trade might be necessary down the line. [I gave Robertson the slight edge](https://theathletic.com/3698179/2022/10/17/maple-leafs-ilya-samsonov/). “He was on the puck. A few days after that came his season debut where he scored two goals, including his first career overtime winner against the [Stars](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/stars/). That every shift didn’t have to be the shift. The Leafs coach also said that something might happen in the first game in Montreal and “you can come back.” “It’s been ups and downs for sure,” Robertson said.

Viewers in the Toronto Maple Leafs' region will be able to watch or stream the game on Sportsnet Ontario. Mete will skate on the right side of Mark Giordano to start the game. "It still hurts a bit," Mete said 10 days removed from the incident. "I just have to go out there and do my thing," Robertson said following Leafs practice on Wednesday. The 24-year-old Mete signed a one-year, $750,000. the very player Robertson initially lost out to on Toronto's roster.

"We want to be a big part of this team," the Scarborough, Ont. "If we happen to give up some pucks in the process, we will work to get those back. That is a game where we were struggling to get inside, but there was a window of opportunity. "When we were planning out the season, we wanted to make sure we got him in every two or three games and this is already [game] four. "We want to play a big role. "Just a lot of focusing on him and less on what I had to do," Nick recalled of the game on March 15. "We need to get him in," DeBoer explained. We know that and we got to be ready for that." "The boys will be ready to come out and play the way that we know we're capable of." "A team that's looking to bounce back," said forward Tyler Seguin. "That was definitely kind of a buildup," Jason said. More of an opportunity this year than last year, so I'm trying to focus on the game and having a good game."
The 21-year-old scored his second goal of the night in his season debut at 3:46 of overtime Thursday as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Dallas Stars 3-2.
“It’s complicated.” “He gets all the attention of the goalie and moves it over for Nick to finish it. “It was exciting,” Robertson said.

Actually it required more than two, so here is a quick recap of Robertson's game and what it means for him, Denis Malgin, and Brandon Pridham moving forward.
Big opportunity for him to start the year. [Recap: Nicky Nicky can’t you see, your two goals just hypnotize me](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2022/10/20/23415511/recap-nicky-nicky-cant-you-see-your-two-goals-just-hypnotize-me) [#LeafsForever]prospect Joe Miller makes his NCAA debut for Harvard on their top line with other former Chicago Steel prospects: Sean Farrell and Matthew Coronato. All that’s to say Brandon Pridham and Kyle Dubas have a decision to make, but it’s not one that involves Robertson. Now, before they do that, there’s one thing in the way that might change things. He’s not showing the tendency of going off on his own system anymore, his work ethic has continued to stay strong, and he’s getting good chances thanks to his skating and timing (and also William Nylander). And on a night where the first line got caved in by the Stars third line, the second line led by Tavares and Nylander finished 12-7 in shots. If Nick hadn’t caught what was happening and made the play to stop it, this game would’ve been over and he probably would’ve looked at fault for it. Nylander genuinely set up a dozen chances in this game, and a lot of them for Nick. Nick missed two of these on the short side before nailing it on his game winner. From there, putting the puck in the net was just mechanics. Let’s begin with the hilarity of last night, as both Katya and I wrote parallel universe recaps for last night’s Leafs vs Stars game.

"I don't want to have just a night," Robertson said. "Fortunately, I got the call-up and hopefully get to stick here and be an everyday player." It's why he played his first game this season on the second line with John Tavares and William Nylander. The game Nick Robertson presented on Thursday is the one the Maple Leafs had always envisioned for their 2019 second-round NHL Draft pick. "It was a great play by him, but I really loved how the play developed." The first one was at 1:27 into the session followed by another one at 3:26 where he found Auston Matthews while taking the puck up the ice.
