TORONTO — Nick Robertson’s sole focus has been on challenging for a spot on theroster at the next available opportunity. He just didn’t think it would arrive so soon.The COVID-19 pandemic wiped out an Ontario Hockey League season that saw the determined left-winger score 55 goals in 46 games for the Peterborough Petes, but it also delivered him an opportunity to extend that charmed year with the Leafs.
There is also the future to be mindful of, with the first year of his cost-controlled, entry-level contract eligible to be burned in the event he were to play 10 NHL games during this summer tournament. He’s also garnered a reputation as someone in superior physical condition — an area where the Leafs believe they might find an advantage because of the unusual nature of this playoff tournament arriving after a layoff of four-plus months.
