Pittsburgh Penguins forward Nick Robertson will have his contract dispute resolved through an arbitration hearing.

The Pittsburgh Penguins and forward Nick Robertson have officially scheduled a date for their arbitration hearing. This marks a procedural step in determining the financial terms of Robertson's next contract with the team.

Arbitration hearings are a standard process in the NHL for players who have reached a certain threshold of career service time and are unable to reach a contract agreement with their team through negotiation.

The outcome of the hearing will set Robertson's salary for the upcoming season, with both the player and the team presenting their cases to an arbitrator.
