St. Louis head coach Ken Hitchcock expects Fabbri (undisclosed) to play Monday's Game 5 against San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Fabbri did not play the final 16:05 of Saturday night's 6-3 win over the Sharks, leaving his status unknown for Game 5. Hitchcock made his comments soon after the end of Saturday's game, which is awfully confident of the coach. We suspect more details about the injury and why Hitchcock expects both Fabbri and David Backes (undisclosed) to come out before Game 5.
