Injured Robinson Dons Rare Teal Jersey at Hurricanes Practice, Likely to Play vs. Lightning
· Yahoo Sports
Saturday morning, the Carolina Hurricanes were on the ice in Invisalign Arena. Since Tuesday – when the league allowed skating to resume after a twelve-day break – the Hurricanes have already held four practices.
Notably, Eric Robinson had returned in a yellow non-contact sweater during those practices. Saturday, however, the Hurricanes’ speedy fourth-line winger shed the yellow jersey for a San Jose Sharks-esque teal sweater bearing the ‘Property of Carolina’ crest.

It remains unknown what the teal sweater represents – but it isn’t yellow, which is a good sign. Following practice, head coach Rod Brind’Amour discussed Robinson’s potential availability for Thursday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
“I think he’s gonna be a good option,” he told the media. “I mean, we’re not rushing it. …At this point, he’s looking like he’s trending that he’ll be ready to go.”
Robinson’s upper-body injury came during January 19th’s matinee match versus the Buffalo Sabres. Early in the game, Rasmus Dahlin threw a speeding hip-check on him while he was stationary by the Sabres’ net. As he came back up from the ice, he was seen gripping his left shoulder and promptly left the game.
His first day back on the ice was Tuesday and he has since remained as the extra forward during practice.
