Fabbri (knee) endured an extensive on-ice workout following Tuesday's morning skate, The Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fabbri continues to ramp up his physical activity following ACL surgery that took place over the summer. The talented winger has been in this spot before, having torn his ACL twice earlier in his career with the Blues, but he isn't expected to return until the new year.

Fabbri (knee) is expected to return around Jan. 1, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It seems to be status quo with Fabbri, as he's consistently been skating since late October, albeit with no apparent setbacks. Fabbri required surgery and ultimately needs to demonstrate that he can withstand contact in practice before rejoining the lineup. Last season, he stacked 17 goals with 13 assists through 56 games, and the torn ACL spoiled what easily could've been a career-best campaign.

Fabbri (knee) was once again on the ice before practice Thursday as he aims for a January return, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even though Fabbri's return date is far off, Red Wings seem to be keeping him involved in any capacity that he can handle. "I asked Fabbs to be around a lot, even though he was unavailable to us, because I think he's a big part of what we're doing and we're trying to implement him and help our leadership out, too," head coach Derek Lalonde said. The Wings' depth at forward is being tested; in addition to Fabbri's absence, the team is without Jakub Vrana (personal) and Tyler Bertuzzi (upper body) this early in the season.

Fabbri (knee) was skating prior to practice Friday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fabbri underwent ACL surgery in the offseason and was given a 6-9 month recovery timetable which should see him back in January. Fabbri should be a middle-six forward with the Red Wings when he returns to action.

Fabbri (knee) will not be ready to play until the calendar turns to 2023, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fabbri continues to work his way back from offseason ACL surgery, which usually comes with a 6-9 month recovery timeline. It's another significant blow for Fabbri, who has previously missed significant time, including the entire 2017-18 campaign, due to injury. Despite the late return to the lineup, Fabbri may still have enough time to reach the 20-point threshold if he can get back up to speed quickly. Given his recovery timeline, Fabbri will no doubt be placed on long-term injured reserve in the coming days.

Fabbri underwent ACL surgery and will not be healthy enough in time for the start of the 2022-23 campaign, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fabbri has been sidelined since mid-March due to his knee injury, missing the final 24 contests of the year. Without Fabbri in the lineup, new additions Andrew Copp and David Perron figure to both take on top-six roles to start the year. Once cleared to play, Fabbri should be capable of pushing for the 20-goal mark if he doesn't miss too much time.

Fabbri (lower body) is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
EDGE Analysis
Fabbri is suspected to have a torn ACL, coach Blashill stated. The 26-year-old has averaged 17:19 of ice time -- 2:45 during the man advantage -- and generated 30 points over 56 games this season. His injury is not the same knee as his previous injuries, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Fabbri (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Fabbri's next opportunity to return will be March 19 against Seattle. He departed Thursday's game versus the Wild in the second period after incurring a lower-body injury. The 26-year-old has averaged 17:08 of ice time -- 3:15 during the power play -- and tallied six points over the last 10 games.

Fabbri (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Fabbri suffered the injury in the second period. He finished with 8:27 of ice time in Thursday's contest. He can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's road game versus the Flames.

Fabbri recorded an even-strength goal in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Fabbri managed to redirect a Danny DeKeyser shot for his 16th goal. Fortunately for Detroit, the 26-year-old forward has managed to stay healthy this season; he's up to 54 games played, which is the most he's had since logging 72 contests as a rookie with St. Louis in 2015-16. Fabbri is a steady top-six option for the Wings, but coach Jeff Blashill naturally will do some lineup tinkering once Jakub Vrana (shoulder) returns.
