Robertson has also scored 39 points in total behind leader Connor McDavid of Edmonton Oilers who has 43 across his name. 

Robertson was selected 39th overall by Dallas during the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, but only officially appeared on the team's roster in 2019.

He was also recently named the NHL's First Star of the Month for the month of November.

Robertson is one of four players of Filipino descent to play in the NHL, a list that includes his younger brother, Nicholas Robertson.
