"With their speed, tenacity, and finishing abilities, they've quickly become a third line for Berube who brings an identity to the ice every single shift. In Roy, the Leafs have a defensive-minded right-handed centre, who isn't shy to use his big frame to create positioning advantages on the ice. Roy pays close attention to the fine details in the defensive zone, and he's also a very underrated playmaker and loaded with offensive instincts."
"Robertson has quickly become one of the stories for the Leafs this season as his worker-bee mentality is rubbing off on the rest of the room. The former second-round pick has put in the work to develop in all three zones, he's much more efficient with his energy, and of late, he's finding the back of the net, which is something the Leafs are desperate for more of from their bottom six."
The third line of Nicolas Roy, Easton Cowan, and Nick Robertson has gelled over several games, impacting Toronto's bottom six with speed, tenacity, and finishing. Roy provides a defensive-minded, right-handed center who uses his frame for positioning, pays attention to defensive details, and contributes playmaking and offensive instincts. Robertson brings a worker-bee mentality, improved three-zone play, greater energy efficiency, and a recent scoring touch from the bottom six. Cowan reads the ice intelligently for a rookie and relies on work ethic while receiving consistent minutes. Craig Berube should keep the trio together to preserve identity and explore their continued success.
