Robertson faces tough road test in Colorado as Penguins begin back-to-back
Nicholas Robertson and the Pittsburgh Penguins head into Ball Arena tonight as road underdogs against the Colorado Avalanche in what projects to be a higher-scoring environment. The Penguins (3-3-1) kick off a tough road back-to-back facing Mackenzie Blackwood (confirmed) in net for Colorado. Robertson has shown flashes of offensive spark early in his Pittsburgh tenure, tallying two goals on nine shots through his first six games while holding a plus-four rating. His fantasy start rate climbed to 11% today as managers monitor his middle-six scoring punch, though he remains off the top power-play unit.
Our data projects a muted evening for Robertson against Colorado, translating to a low point expectation with light shot volume and limited peripheral support. He is currently unlikely to score in this difficult road matchup, leaving his single-game fantasy floor quite thin. Looking at the wider picture, Pittsburgh plays the second half of this back-to-back tomorrow in Vegas, with our models forecasting roughly 6.6 fantasy points across their three total games this week. Until he carves out consistent minutes or power-play opportunity, fantasy managers should look elsewhere tonight. Today’s action: Bench.
