EDGE Analysis

Fabbri was injured Opening Night and it was thought he might be able to play Saturday in Ottawa, but that will not come to fruition. Fabbri has been injury prone through most of his career, playing a full season only in the abbreviated 2021-22 campaign when the NHL had a 56-game schedule. Fabbri potted a goal in his lone appearance this season Oct. 12 versus New Jersey.
