Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Buries goal in 400th career game
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Robinson has scored twice in five contests since returning from an upper-body injury. The 30-year-old winger saw just 6:26 of ice time as head coach Rod Brind'Amour appeared to shorten his bench in this tough matchup. Robinson is up to five goals, one assist, 15 shots on net and 13 hits over 12 appearances this season, with Saturday's outing marking the 400th regular-season game of his career.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Nets goal in return
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.
Robinson returned from a six-game absence and played 12:22 on the fourth line. That was his second-highest ice-time total this season. He's produced four goals, one assist, 12 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-5 rating through eight outings and should continue to be a decent depth forward for the Hurricanes. Robinson likely won't sustain his current pace, but he's still a viable option in banger leagues.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Shifts to injured reserve
Rotowire
Robinson (upper body) has been moved to injured reserve Tuesday, according to the NHL media site.
It was reported Thursday that Robinson is set for an extended absence, so his placement on injured reserve doesn't come as a surprise. The Hurricanes currently have only 12 healthy forwards on their roster, so they may call someone up from AHL Chicago in short order. Robinson has three goals and four points over seven appearances this season.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Poised for absence
Rotowire
Robinson (upper body) is expected to be out for an extended period of time after leaving Thursday's game versus the Avalanche, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Robinson and William Carrier (lower body) are both expected to be shelved for a while. Mark Jankowski will take one of the openings in the lineup, but Robinson and Carrier will likely need to land on injured reserve to accommodate roster moves for one or two depth forwards from AHL Chicago.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Tallies in win
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Devils.
Robinson set career highs with 14 goals and 32 points in 82 regular-season games a year ago. He's off to a positive start again in 2025-26, though offense could be hard to come by in a fourth-line role. The depth of the Hurricanes' forward group makes it unlikely Robinson will see a stretch of time higher up the lineup, but he'll bring physicality and depth scoring in his role, assuming he can keep Mark Jankowski in the press box.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Absent from practice
Rotowire
Robinson missed practice Friday with an undisclosed injury, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Robinson has recorded just one point over his last 12 outings, so his potential absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. The 29-year-old winger has dished out plenty of hits over that stretch (43), but doesn't offer much value otherwise. If Robinson misses the first game of the second-round series versus the Capitals, Tyson Jost would likely step into a fourth-line role.

Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Robinson got a touch on a Justin Robidas attempt, giving the former his first goal since March 14 while the latter earned his first NHL point. Robinson is now at 32 points, 102 shots on net, 102 hits and a plus-17 rating over 75 appearances this season. He's earned seven of those points over his last 12 contests while filling a versatile role for the Hurricanes -- he's capable of moving around the lineup to fill gaps as necessary.

Robinson set up Mark Jankowski on the opening goal 4:41 into the game. While he's gone seven games without a goal, Robinson has four assists in that span.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Tallies empty-netter
Rotowire
Robinson scored an empty-net goal and tallied three shots on net in Friday's 4-2 victory against the Red Wings.
Robinson buried his empty-netter with just over a minute left in the third period. The 29-year-old winger has 13 goals, 27 points, 89 shots on net and 96 hits in 66 games this season. Friday's goal marked a new career high for Robinson, passing his previous best of 12 across 72 regular-season appearances in 2022-23. After failing to hit the scoresheet for 10 straight games, Robinson has two points in his last three outings. His value in fantasy is limited, but it is encouraging to see him involved in the offense while Carolina regularly shuffles its lines for the time being.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Buries goal in loss
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.
Robinson was on the fourth line Saturday, but he still logged 14:14 of ice time. Line combinations have been in flux for the Hurricanes since the Mikko Rantanen trade, as injuries and illnesses have left various players unavailable for short stints. Robinson has bounced around the lineup himself a fair amount in 2024-25. He's now at 12 goals, 25 points, 71 shots on net, 75 hits and a plus-12 rating over 53 appearances, including five points over his last 12 outings.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Contributes helper Monday
Rotowire
Robinson logged an assist, five shots on goal and three hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
Robinson hasn't had a great January, earning just two points over 10 outings this month. The 29-year-old has been a surprisingly effective depth scorer at times, occasionally earning himself top-six minutes. He's up to 10 goals, 12 helpers, 60 shots on net, 69 hits and a plus-9 rating over 47 outings, but he probably won't have much fantasy value as long as he remains on the fourth line.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Tallies in Friday's defeat
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal on two shots and added three hits and a plus-1 rating in 13:04 of ice time Friday in a 4-2 loss to the Devils.
Robinson cleaned up on a rebound in the blue paint to open the scoring Friday. It was the left-shot winger's first goal since Dec. 5, and he's cooled significantly after a strong November and start to December. Still, Robinson is on pace to set new career highs in goals, assists and points in his eighth NHL season. The 29-year-old is at nine markers, 10 helpers and a plus-8 rating through 35 appearances.

For the season, he's up to eight goals, 17 points, 32 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-8 rating.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Nets equalizer Friday
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers.
Robinson tied the game at 3-3 late in the second period, but the Panthers took control in the third. His tally was his first since Nov. 17, though he had two assists in four outings going into Friday's matchup. The 29-year-old has lost his place on the second combination, but a fourth-line spot aligns better with his skill set. Robinson is up to six goals, 15 points, 25 shots on net, 31 hits and a plus-8 rating through 23 appearances. He may generate enough offense to interest fantasy managers in deep formats.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Sends helper in win
Rotowire
Robinson notched an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.
Robinson set up Jesperi Kotkaniemi's game-tying goal in the third period. Both of those forwards were seeing second-line minutes earlier in the month, but they played on the fourth line with Jackson Blake in this contest. Robinson has five points over his last six outings and is up to a total of 14 points, 24 shots on net, 31 hits and a plus-9 rating through 22 appearances. The Hurricanes' offense is flexible and balanced, so Robinson may retain some appeal in deeper fantasy formats, though that could dry up if his reduced ice time (7:43 in Wednesday's game) becomes a trend.
