Bowness said the coaches want to put Robertson in a place to succeed and will have him on the power play tonight.
"It's like any young player, it's the pace of the game and it's your play away from the puck and without the puck that comes into play," Bowness said. "This league is very structured, and you have to learn to play with that structure."
Robertson has not had a shot attempt in his first two games, and he said he's studied the film closely.
"That was two weeks ago, and I kind of watched my clips probably five times, so I'm getting more familiar and more confident and trying to look to see what I can do better and what I can do differently," Robertson said. "I've talked to numerous people on what I should have done and what I can do, and how to open up more of my playing style. I've been watching those clips and trying to fine tune all of those skills in practices and I'll try to put that in the game tonight."
Robertson has to find a way to find confidence in his offensive game while still maintaining a strong structure. The Stars as a team focus on creating offense from defense, but that requires quick decision-making and being comfortable with the game plan.
"I think they just wanted more details, the small things in the game," Robertson said. "They knew I had a lot of skill and they told me that you had the right direction, but just work on these little details. That's pretty much what I've been doing in practice, and I'm really looking forward to doing that tonight."
As for Dellandrea, he might be back in. That's a game-time decision, Bowness said. That also means that someone like L'Esperance or Tanner Kero could come out. It's all part of being prepared this season.
