Report: Nick Robertson injured in his first NHL game.

The highly anticipated debut of Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson has come to a rather underwhelming end very quickly. 

Robertson will not even make it to the game's second period as an official announcement from the Maple Leafs Department of Public Relations has revealed that Robertson has been ruled out for the remainder of the evening with a knee issue. 

Although we have no details regarding the specific nature of that injury, we can tell you that it very likely came as a result of a hit from Ottawa Senators forward Drake Batherson during the game's opening period. The hit from Batherson along the boards sent Robertson into those boards at an awkward angle, and he was slow to get back to the bench after recovering from the blow.

Update: Here's a look at the hit.
