Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Slated to miss rest of season
Rotowire
Fabbri (hand) isn't expected to return before the end of the 2024-25 campaign, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News on Saturday.
Fabbri hasn't been in the lineup since Feb. 25, and he will probably finish the 2024-25 campaign with eight goals, 16 points, 20 PIM and 58 hits in 44 outings. Fabbri is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, and the 29-year-old might end up settling for a significant pay cut compared to his current $4 million cap hit.
Fabbri was put on injured reserve Thursday due to an upper-body injury.
Fabbri was already regarded as doubtful for Thursday's clash against Vancouver, but this move makes him ineligible to play in that game. He sustained the injury during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Buffalo. Fabbri has eight goals, 16 points and 58 hits over 44 appearances in 2024-25. Sam Colangelo, who was recalled from AHL San Diego in a corresponding move, will likely draw into the lineup due to Fabbri's absence.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Produces helper in win
Rotowire
Fabbri logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.
Fabbri has two goals and three assists over his last nine outings. The 29-year-old winger set up a Cutter Gauthier tally in the first period of this contest. Fabbri's production is mostly in line with his bottom-six usage -- he has 15 points, 58 shots on net, 50 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 40 appearances. He chips in a little of everything but likely not at a level acceptable for most fantasy managers.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Goal, assist in win
Rotowire
Fabbri scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Kraken.
Fabbri set up a Cutter Gauthier tally in the first period before scoring one of his own in the second. This was Fabbri's first multi-point effort since Dec. 29 versus the Oilers. The 29-year-old winger has four points over his last six outings and appears to be benefiting from linemate Mason McTavish's recent uptick in production. Fabbri has eight goals, 14 points, 54 shots on net, 46 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating across 37 appearances.

Rotowire
Fabbri provided an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.
Fabbri has a pair of points over his last four contests, which is better than the eight-game point drought that he had to begin January. The 29-year-old winger set up Mason McTavish for the opening tally in this game. Fabbri is now at 12 points, 52 shots on net, 45 hits, 21 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 35 appearances in a middle-six role.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Forces overtime Thursday
Rotowire
Fabbri scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Lightning.
Fabbri ended his eight-game point drought with a third-period tally to force overtime. During his slump, Fabbri's ice time has dropped slightly, but he remains in a middle-six role. The 28-year-old winger is up to seven goals, four assists, 48 shots on net, 45 hits and a minus-7 rating over 32 appearances. The Ducks don't have a particularly strong offense, so a depth player like Fabbri isn't a great choice for fantasy managers.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Scores vs. New Jersey
Rotowire
Fabbri recorded a goal, three shots on goal and a blocked shot in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
Fabbri endured a tough start to the campaign and also missed 13 games in a row between Nov. 13 and Dec. 11 due to a knee injury, but he's been very productive since returning to the ice. The 28-year-old has three multi-point efforts in nine games since returning, tallying four goals and four assists over that stretch. He's also cracked the scoresheet in four of his previous five outings.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Two points in victory
Rotowire
Fabbri produced a goal and an assist Sunday in a 5-3 win over Edmonton.
Fabbri tied the score at 3-3 late in the middle frame, and he set up Mason McTavish's empty-net goal to seal the win. Fabbri's resurgence in terms of offensive production in December has been night and day compared to his output over the first two months of the campaign. The left-shot winger has accumulated three goals and four helpers over eight appearances in December -- he had just two goals across 14 appearances between October and November. Fabbri has provided five goals and nine points through 22 appearances this season.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Contributes helper Monday
Rotowire
Fabbri notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Fabbri has five points over six games since he returned from a knee surgery. The 28-year-old winger is clicking with Mason McTavish on the third line, giving the Ducks a bit more scoring depth. Fabbri is up to seven points, 25 shots on net, 35 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 20 appearances this season. He's not exactly known for his physical play, and his offense is fine for his role, but it won't be enough to win over many fantasy managers.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Scores twice in shootout win
Rotowire
Fabbri scored two goals and took three shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over Utah.
Fabbri doubled his season total with the pair of tallies Sunday, and this two-goal outing also ended a five-game stretch in which he couldn't find the back of the net. Fabbri has six points (four goals, two assists) in 19 appearances, but his bottom-six role should conspire against his fantasy upside.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Dishes two helpers
Rotowire
Fabbri logged two assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
This was Fabbri's second game back after a four-week absence due to a knee surgery, which he returned from two weeks earlier than initially expected. The 28-year-old has slotted into a third-line role upon his return, averaging 16:13 of ice time over those two contests. The winger is at four points, 16 shots on net, 31 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 16 appearances. Fabbri will have to show more consistency on offense before he'll be a serious option for many fantasy managers.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Set to return
Rotowire
Fabbri (knee) will return to the lineup versus the Maple Leafs on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Fabbri was expected to miss six weeks after undergoing knee surgery Nov. 15, but he's back in action after just four weeks. Sam Colangelo was returned to AHL San Diego. Fabbri is likely to be eased back in given his quick recovery and lengthy history of injuries.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Surfaces on IR
Rotowire
Fabbri is dealing with a lower-body injury and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Fabbri logged 13:46 of ice time in Sunday's 4-2 win over Columbus during his last appearance. His placement on IR rules him out for at least the next two games. Fabbri has two goals, 13 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 31 hits through 14 outings this season. If Mason McTavish (upper body) isn't ready to play Wednesday against Vegas, the Ducks could bring up a forward or two from AHL San Diego.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Scores 100th career goal
Rotowire
Fabbri scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
Fabbri snapped a nine-game point drought with his third-period tally. The 28-year-old saw power-play time for a while in October, but he's since been taken out of the mix for that situation. The winger has just two goals with 12 shots on net, 29 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 13 contests this season. Fabbri's tally Friday was the 100th goal of his career, a milestone he achieved in his 411th game.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Lights lamp in overtime win
Rotowire
Fabbri scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.
Fabbri picked up his first goal as a Duck in his third game with the team. The 28-year-old winger has added five shots on net, seven hits and a plus-1 rating while filling a second-line role. Fabbri has topped the 30-point mark in four of his eight NHL campaigns, but he's never reached 40 points in a season. He also doesn't tend to add big numbers in non-scoring areas and carries significant injury risk, so fantasy managers can likely look elsewhere for forward depth.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Pots goal
Rotowire
Fabbri scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Wednesday's 5-2 preseason win over Utah.
Fabbri and Tristan Luneau worked into Utah's zone on a 2-on-1, and Fabbri was able to bury the Ducks' fourth goal. The 28-year-old winger had a bounce-back year with 32 points in 68 games with the Red Wings last season. Staying healthy will be the top priority for Fabbri, who has missed at least 10 games in every season of his career. He'll likely open 2024-25 in a middle-six role, and he should be a candidate to see power-play time after earning a career-best 12 points with the man advantage last year.

Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Dealt to Anaheim
Rotowire
Fabbri and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2025 were traded from the Red Wings to the Ducks on Wednesday in exchange for Gage Alexander.
Fabbri enjoyed relatively good health in 2023-24, posting 32 points in 68 contests. The 28-year-old will still end up as a cap casualty for the Red Wings, as they moved his $4 million cap hit to Anaheim to clear space after signing Vladimir Tarasenko at a $4.5 million cap hit. Fabbri should contend for a middle-six role and power-play time with the Ducks.
