Amongst Robertson's 14 goals, seven of them have been on the power play, which ranks him second in the OHL. The 5'10.5", 190 lbs centre who was selected in the 4th round, 72nd overall in the 2019 OHL Priority Selection, tallied his first career hat-trick last night.
Alfano, a 6'3.5", 205 lbs Cayuga, Ont. native, has two goals and two assists for four points in his first 15 career OHL games, scoring his first OHL goal against the North Bay Battalion on October 7, 2021.
