Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson will miss at least four weeks due to a knee injury, head coach Sheldon Keefe said Monday, according to TSN's Kristen Shilton.
Robertson was injured in the first period of Saturday's clash with the Ottawa Senators. It was his NHL regular-season debut.
Keefe called Robertson's MRI results "good news," as the club initially feared a longer absence for the rookie, according to TSN's Mark Masters.
Robertson was selected in the second round of the 2019 draft and is Toronto's most promising prospect. He appeared in four playoff games last summer, registering one goal.
