Acquired on Wednesday in a trade with the St. Louis Blues, center Robby Fabbri wasted little time making his reputation known in Detroit during his first game as a Red Wing against the Boston Bruins.
Brought in to spark more of an offensive effort, Fabbri did just that. Nearly 12 minutes into the first period, Fabbri one-timed a pass from Tyler Bertuzzi for a short-side power play goal, his first goal as a Red Wing.
But he wasn’t done. Not yet.
A minute-and-a-half into the second period, lightning struck again. On another pass from Bertuzzi, Fabbri clapped another shot past Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask to take a 3-1 lead.
