The thirty-year old forward split the 2021-22 season between the Ducks and the San Diego Gulls, scoring one goal and five assists in 32 games for the Ducks. In 28 games for the Gulls, Robinson put up four goals and nine assists.

For his NHL career, the big forward has three goals and six assists in 53 games.

In the AHL, Robinson has played 490 career games, scoring 120 goals, 139 assists, for 259 points. He's also racked up 461 penalty minutes in the minors.

Robinson adds some size and grit to the Blackhawks roster and the team will most likely send him down to the AHL, adding some extra depth for the Rockford IceHogs.
