He has chipped in three points, 14 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-1 rating over nine playoff outings.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Picks up helper in win
Rotowire
Robinson notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Senators in Game 3.
Robinson has played in all three playoff games so far, though he could get swapped out for Nicolas Deslauriers if the Hurricanes want more toughness later on.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Returning against Bolts
Rotowire
Robinson (upper body) will be in the lineup versus the Lightning on Thursday, per NHL.com.
Robinson was sidelined for seven games prior to the Olympic break due to his upper-body injury. Offensively, the New Jersey native was struggling before getting hurt, recording just three points in his last 13 outings. Set to fill a bottom-six role, Robinson is unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Expected to be out for a while
Rotowire
Robinson (upper body) is expected to be out for a while, head coach Rod Brind'Amour told Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal on Monday.
Robinson left Monday's 2-1 loss to Buffalo because of the injury. Although he's expected to miss some time, he still needs to be evaluated so the Hurricanes can get a better sense of the severity of his injury. Jesperi Kotkaniemi will probably draw into the lineup Thursday versus Chicago due to Robinson's injury.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Scores in blowout win
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 9-1 win over the Panthers.
Robinson had been limited to two assists and 12 shots on net over his last 10 outings. The 30-year-old winger has proven his versatility again this season, but he's mostly played in a bottom-six role with no power-play time. He's now at 10 goals, 15 points, 57 shots on net, 59 hits and a plus-7 rating across 42 appearances.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Deposits goal in loss
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
Robinson has two goals and a helper over his last three games. The 30-year-old winger is firmly in a bottom-six role for the Hurricanes, so an extended run of success on offense is unlikely. He's been known to chip in over short spans, but with 11 points, 38 shots on net, 40 hits and a plus-6 rating through 30 appearances, he doesn't stand out enough in any area to be particularly strong in fantasy.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Modest two-game point streak
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal Saturday in a 6-4 loss to the Lightning.
He took a pass from Jordan Staal in the right circle, and he wired a one-timer five-hole on Andrei Vasilevskiy to open the scoring early in the first period. Robinson has a point in each of his last two games (one goal, one assist). He has registered 10 points, including seven goals, in 29 outings this season.

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: 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.

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.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Generates helper
Rotowire
Robinson provided an assist in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Islanders.
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. The 29-year-old has done well to provide some depth scoring from a bottom-six role for much of the campaign. He's produced career highs in games played (73), goals (13), assists (18), points (31) and plus-minus rating (plus-16) while adding 99 shots on net and 100 hits .

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.
