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.

With his performance Saturday, Robinson has established a new career high in points to beat his previous personal best of 27 from 2021-22. He has four points in his last three games and has helped bolster Carolina's fourth line to be a strong offensive unit during the team's seven-game winning streak. Robinson currently has a bit of value in deeper leagues due to his momentum heading into the fantasy playoffs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Robinson notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.

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.
