Fabbri (lower-body) will not play on Thursday.

Fabbri was hurt in a knee-on-knee collision with Jack Hughes on Tuesday and will not play on Thursday. Fabbri was able to avoid serious injury, so consider him as day-to-day. Sam Gagner will make his Red Wings debut to replace Fabbri in the top-6.

Fabbri was forced to leave Tuesday's game after a knee-on-knee hit from Jack Hughes.

Given Fabbri's history of knee injuries, it was obviously a big scare for the Red Wings. However, Dylan Larkin seemed to indicate that Fabbri was doing O.K. but head coach Jeff Blashill had no update on the winger. Expect an update prior to Thursday's game vs. the Wild.

Fabbri (jaw) is questionable to play on Tuesday.

Fabbri left Sunday's game vs. the Bruins after being hit by Chris Wagner and did not return. Head coach Jeff Blashill clarified that Fabbri is dealing with a jaw injury and is questionable to play Tuesday in Buffalo. Luckily for the Red Wings, they will be getting Anthony Mantha back.

The Red Wings have acquired Robby Fabbri from the Blues for Jacob de la Rose.

Fabbri was originally selected in the first-round (No.21 overall) back in 2015 but injuries have derailed a once promising career. After posting 18 goals and 37 points in his rookie year, Fabbri has amassed just 36 points (14G / 22A) in 92 games over the last three seasons. He has had a hard time finding playing time with the Blues but that will not be an issue in Detroit. As long as he can stay healthy, Fabrri should be able to breathe new life into his career.

Fabbri will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.

Fabbri played 11:14 TOI on Sunday but will come out of the lineup on Wednesday with Sammy Blais returning from a thumb injury. The former first-round pick has had a very difficult time getting his career back on-track since missing the entire 2017-18 season with a knee injury.

Fabbri has been a healthy scratch for the first three games of the playoffs but will replace Zach Sanford on the fourth line. Sanford had an extremely quiet season, scoring two goals with four assists (six points) in 32 games.
