Dallas Stars left winger Jason Robertson is one of the best young forwards in the game today. This season, Robertson has 16 goals and 15 assists for 31 points in 20 games. This brings his career totals to 74 goals and 82 assists for 156 points in 148 games.

In his last five games,  Robertson has six goals and two assists for eight points.

Robertson was special early on in his NHL career, scoring 41 goals in the 2021-22 season. At 23 years old, he is already a superstar and one that is capable of winning some hardware sooner than later. Is the Hart Memorial Trophy one of them?

He is certainly on a good roll and the trophy could be his at the end of the season. Robertson is playing on the top line of the Stars, who are in first place, and he has offensive weapons all around him. Unlike McDavid, Robertson has more scoring depth on his roster.

Robertson is a top-line forward who can create offense in any scenario. His Dallas Stars are in a division where there is plenty of talent within the division, but Robertson is pulling away from the young stars.

He can create separation that gives him space to use his sneaky shot to surprise the defense and goaltender. His speed also creates chances anywhere on the ice, capable of scoring at will.

Robertson is lethal both on a regular shift and on the power play, making it almost impossible to take away his time and space.  Robertson is a special player that is making a serious run at the Hart Memorial Trophy, both this year and for years to come.
