Fabbri (groin) will travel with the Blues for their upcoming three-game road trip, which begins Wednesday in Montreal, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fabbri remains without a definite timetable for his return to the lineup, but the fact that he's traveling with the team suggests he's likely close to receiving clearance for game action. However, after he's given the green light, it wouldn't be surprising to see St. Louis limit the oft-injured winger's minutes for a few contests to see how his body holds up, so fantasy owners should plan on taking a wait-and-see approach.

Fabbri (groin) participated in Thursday's morning skate ahead of a home game against the Flames, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a good sign that Fabbri is getting back in the swing of things, but the Blues surely won't rush him. Coach Mike Yeo has reiterated that Fabbri's knee is healthy, but he's been putting additional stress on other muscles in the process which led to the groin injury. Therefore, getting him to full strength is the top priority before he gets back into game action.

Fabbri (groin) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday,
EDGE Analysis
Fabbri will miss at least the first two games of the season as a result of this IR designation, but fortunately the Blues' schedule is rather thin early on. Given the scoring winger's extensive injury history, the club is likely to take an extremely cautious approach with him.

Fabbri (groin) didn't participate in morning skate and won't suit up for Sunday's preseason finale versus the Capitals, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Due to Fabbri's extensive injury history, the odds of him suiting up for Thursday's season opener against the Jets are getting increasingly slim. The Blues have seen enough promise from prospects Jordan Kyrou, Samuel Blais and Robert Thomas to be comfortable resting Fabbri until he's fully healthy.

Fabbri (groin) left the ice early Thursday, but didn't suffer any apparent setbacks, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The fact that Fabbri was unable to complete a full practice session doesn't bode well for his availability Opening Night against the Jets on Thursday. The winger will have two more opportunities to join the lineup for a preseason tuneup -- Friday and Sunday against Dallas and Washington respectively.

Fabbri is considered day-to-day after sustaining a Grade 1 groin strain.
EDGE Analysis
It's another tough break for the oft-injured Fabbri -- who is still working his way back to full fitness due to knee injuries that kept him out for all of 2017-18. When healthy, the winger has performed well including a 37-point rookie campaign back in 2015-16. Fantasy owners looking for a high risk, high reward potential draft steal need look no further than the Ontario native.

Fabbri (lower body) left Sunday's game against Columbus and will not return.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old forward has been riddled with injuries over the last two seasons and this feels especially discouraging, playing in his first game since February of 2017. The Blues should provide a further update on the injury within the next day.

Fabbri (hip/back) will play in Sunday's preseason contest in Columbus, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is great news for Fabbri and the Blues. The 22-year-old hasn't played since February of 2017 after tearing his ACL and eventually re-injuring his knee, knocking him out for the entire 2017-18 campaign. St. Louis is likely going to ease him back into action pretty slowly, but this is an encouraging sign for the former first round pick.

Fabbri (hip/back) could suit up Sunday in Columbus, Jim Thomas of the Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas says that coach Mike Yeo is hoping to play Fabbri in the contest, but Yeo still needs to confirm with the winger that he's good to go. This news suggests that Fabbri should be all systems go by the time the regular season rolls around.

Along with a sore back, Fabbri is now dealing with a hip flexor, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luckily for Fabbri and the Blues, neither of his injuries appear to be particularly serious, but it is a bit disconcerting that he's seemingly been unable to catch a break health wise over the past three seasons. The 22-year-old winger will be reevaluated Saturday, at which point his status for Sunday's matchup with the Blue Jackets should become clearer.
