Wild claim Robby Fabbri off waivers from Blues

Fabbri is now set to join a Wild team that just placed veteran winger Marcus Foligno on the injured reserve list with a lower-body injury. He leaves a Blues team that currently sits near the bottom of the NHL standings to join the Wild in their chase for home-ice advantage in the Central Division.

A first-round pick (No. 21 overall) of the Blues in the 2014 NHL Draft, Fabbri began his NHL career with the Blues in the 2015-16 season and played a key role in the club going on a run to the Western Conference Final. Despite battling severe knee injuries that limited his effectiveness over the following years, Fabbri later appeared in 10 playoff games during the Blues’ successful championship run in 2019; his name is engraved on the Stanley Cup.

The Blues traded Fabbri to the Detroit Red Wings early in the 2019-20 season. The Mississauga product re-established himself as a quality middle-six forward over parts of five seasons with the Red Wings, although he still struggled with injury problems throughout his tenure. The Red Wings traded Fabbri to the Anaheim Ducks after the 2023-24 season.

Through 457 career NHL games over parts of 10 seasons with the Blues, Red Wings, and Ducks, Fabbri has collected 107 goals and 220 points. He’s added five goals and 16 points in 10 career playoff contests.
