Robinson (knee) was on the ice for Thursday's practice session, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Robinson had a procedure on his knee back in June, but it seems the winger is good to go, suiting up on the first line on the opening day of training camp. In his 67 regular-season appearances last year, the New Jersey native notched 12 goals and six helpers. If he can play all 84 games this year, Robinson could get back over the 30-point threshold.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Undergoes knee procedure
Rotowire
Robinson underwent a knee surgery and will be out for 6-8 weeks, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports Friday.
Robinson's recovery timeline should have him available for the start of the regular season, but his offseason training will be impacted. That could lead to him seeing less usage in preseason play. Assuming he's healthy in time, he should fill a bottom-six role to start the 2026-27 campaign.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Picks up helper in win
Rotowire
Robinson notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Senators in Game 3.
Robinson has played in all three playoff games so far, though he could get swapped out for Nicolas Deslauriers if the Hurricanes want more toughness later on. This helper ended a 13-game point drought for Robinson. The winger picked up 18 points, 84 shots on net, 90 hits and a plus-7 rating over 67 regular-season contests. He's in his third career playoff run, having collected just four points across 25 games over the previous two postseasons he participated in.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Converts penalty shot
Rotowire
Robinson scored on a penalty shot and added two hits in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
Robinson got hooked by Troy Stecher on a scoring chance, and the Hurricanes winger made it count by converting the ensuing penalty shot. The 30-year-old Robinson has stayed in a bottom-six role for most of this season, giving him little scoring upside. He may occasionally lose time to Nicolas Deslauriers down the stretch. Robinson is at 12 goals, five assists, 75 shots on net, 75 hits and a plus-8 rating over 55 outings.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Tallies in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.
Robinson's second-period tally stood as the game-winner. The 30-year-old winger missed seven games with an upper-body injury prior to the Olympic break, and this was his second contest back in the lineup. Robinson's offense is likely to be limited as long as he remains in a bottom-six role. He has 11 goals, 16 points, 64 shots on net, 62 hits and a plus-7 rating across 46 outings this season.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Returning against Bolts
Rotowire
Robinson (upper body) will be in the lineup versus the Lightning on Thursday, per NHL.com.
Robinson was sidelined for seven games prior to the Olympic break due to his upper-body injury. Offensively, the New Jersey native was struggling before getting hurt, recording just three points in his last 13 outings. Set to fill a bottom-six role, Robinson is unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Expected to be out for a while
Rotowire
Robinson (upper body) is expected to be out for a while, head coach Rod Brind'Amour told Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal on Monday.
Robinson left Monday's 2-1 loss to Buffalo because of the injury. Although he's expected to miss some time, he still needs to be evaluated so the Hurricanes can get a better sense of the severity of his injury. Jesperi Kotkaniemi will probably draw into the lineup Thursday versus Chicago due to Robinson's injury.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Scores in blowout win
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 9-1 win over the Panthers.
Robinson had been limited to two assists and 12 shots on net over his last 10 outings. The 30-year-old winger has proven his versatility again this season, but he's mostly played in a bottom-six role with no power-play time. He's now at 10 goals, 15 points, 57 shots on net, 59 hits and a plus-7 rating across 42 appearances.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Four-game, four-point streak
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over Detroit.
Robinson had five shots. The journeyman winger is on a four-game, four-point streak (three goals, one assist), and it includes a three-game goal streak. It won't last, especially with a shooting rate that's almost double (20.9) his career average of 10.8. This is a great run, but Robinson remains more valuable on the ice than in the fantasy arena.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Deposits goal in loss
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
Robinson has two goals and a helper over his last three games. The 30-year-old winger is firmly in a bottom-six role for the Hurricanes, so an extended run of success on offense is unlikely. He's been known to chip in over short spans, but with 11 points, 38 shots on net, 40 hits and a plus-6 rating through 30 appearances, he doesn't stand out enough in any area to be particularly strong in fantasy.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Modest two-game point streak
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal Saturday in a 6-4 loss to the Lightning.
He took a pass from Jordan Staal in the right circle, and he wired a one-timer five-hole on Andrei Vasilevskiy to open the scoring early in the first period. Robinson has a point in each of his last two games (one goal, one assist). He has registered 10 points, including seven goals, in 29 outings this season.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Nets goal in win
Rotowire
Robinson scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Facing one of his former teams, Robinson was able to snap a 10-game goal drought. He had just one helper in that span. For the season, the 30-year-old winger has been a regular on the Hurricanes' fourth line, earning eight points, 27 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-6 rating in 23 appearances. He won't often score enough to help in fantasy, but his place in the lineup looks to be mostly secure.
