“He can score off the rush, he scores kind of lurking around the quiet areas of the ice waiting for the puck to come to him. It always seems to come to him. Tougher to defend a guy like that isn’t predictable,” DeBoer added.

CBS Sports also reports that Robertson has been scoring and assisting at a rapid rate, scoring in 14 out of his last 21 games.
