Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Nick Robertson was lighting it up with the Peterborough Petes, registering a whopping 55 goals and 86 points in only 46 games, before the remainder of the OHL season was cancelled due to COVID-19.

“I’m trying to pack on a little weight,” the five-foot-nine, 164-pound forward said during a Tuesday appearance on Good Show. “Not significant but I need to get a little thicker and stronger and faster.
