Maple Leafs prospect Nick Robertson out at least 10 weeks with fractured fibula

One of the Toronto Maple Leafs' top young prospects may be on the shelf for the remainder of 2021 after going down with a brutal injury on Sunday.

According to a report from The Athletic, Nick Robertson — who currently suits up for the Leafs' AHL-affiliate Toronto Marlies — suffered a "non-displaced fracture of his right fibula" during the Marlies' game against the Manitoba Moose on Sunday. The injury won't require surgery, but he'll be out for a minimum of 10 weeks, according to the Marlies.

Robertson was selected by the Leafs in the second round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. He appeared in four of the team's five games against the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2020 NHL qualifying round, scoring one goal.

In 21 AHL games last season, the 20-year-old had five goals and 11 assists, and in six contests with Toronto he registered one assist.
