Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Nick Robertson will be out a minimum of 10 weeks with a broken leg.
Robertson, who started the season with the American Hockey League’s Toronto Marlies, has a non-displaced fracture of his right fibula.
The Marlies said on Tuesday morning he was injured in Sunday’s 5-0 loss to the Manitoba Moose.
Robertson will not need surgery.
The 20-year-old forward had two assists in two games with the minor-league club this season.
He had five goals and 11 assists for the Marlies in the 2020-21 campaign.
Robertson was selected 53rd overall by the Maple Leafs in the 2019 NHL Draft. He had an assist in six games last season with the NHL team.
