The injury occurred when Robertson was hit into the boards by Kings defenceman Matt Roy early in the game. Robertson was helped off the ice, favouring his right shoulder. Roy was assessed a two-minute minor penalty for interference.
Robertson, 21, has played in 15 games this season, scoring two goals and recording five points.
