Playing career

Raised in Bellmawr, New Jersey, Robinson attended Gloucester Catholic High School. [2] Robinson played two seasons of collegiate hockey with Lake Superior State University of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association.

Undrafted, he was signed by the Ottawa Senators of the NHL to a three-year entry level contract on March 25, 2013. [3]

While playing mostly in the AHL with the Senators affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, Robinson did play three games with the NHL Ottawa Senators in April 2016 and scored his first NHL goal in a 3–1 win over the Florida Panthers. [4] He added an assist a game later and finished with 1 goal, 1 assist, +2 in those three games.

On June 23, 2016, the Senators re-signed Robinson to a one-year, two-way deal. [5] In the following 2016–17 season, Robinson was assigned and returned to the Binghamton Senators to start the year. He appeared in a further 4 scoreless games with Ottawa, before he was traded to the San Jose Sharks, along with Zack Stortini and a 7th round draft pick in the 2017 draft, in exchange for Tommy Wingels on January 24, 2016. He was immediately assigned to the Sharks AHL affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda. [6]

On July 1, 2017, Robinson signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Winnipeg Jets. [7] In the 2017–18 season, Robinson played 74 games with the Jets' AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, finishing third in scoring with 25 goals and 28 assists for 53 points.

Having concluded his contract with the Jets, Robinson left as a free agent to sign a two-year, two-way contract with the Calgary Flames on July 2, 2018. [8]

Robinson returned to the NHL with the Flames on January 28, 2020, in Calgary against the St. Louis Blues. [9]

On October 9, 2020, Robinson signed a one-year contract extension with the Flames. [10] In the pandemic delayed 2020–21 season, Robinson remained with the Flames for the duration of the season, largely assigned to the club's extended Taxi Squad. He featured in 9 regular season games, going scoreless.

On July 29, 2021, Robinson signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Anaheim Ducks as a free agent. [11] After beginning the 2021–22 season in the AHL with affiliate, San Diego Gulls, Robinson was recalled by the Ducks and appeared in a career best 32 regular season games, collecting 1 goal and 5 assists for 6 points.

As a free agent from his lone season with the Ducks, Robinson was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Chicago Blackhawks on July 25, 2022. [12] Robinson added a goal and 2 assists in 9 NHL contests for the Blackhawks in the 2022–23 season and scored what proved to be the game winner that eliminated the Pittsburgh Penguins from playoff contention in April of 2023.

At the conclusion of his contract with the Blackhawks, Robinson remained un-signed over the summer. On September 21, 2023, he opted to leave North America and move abroad by agreeing to a one-year contract for the remainder of the 2023–24 season with Russian club, Traktor Chelyabinsk of the KHL.
