Detroit – Robby Fabbri is looking at this opportunity with the Detroit Red Wings much the same away as when he was drafted by St. Louis in 2014.

It’s a fresh start, a new beginning.

“The same mindset,” said Fabbri, who skated with the Wings for the first time Friday morning and was to be in the lineup against the Boston Bruins. “I’m coming in here wanting to make an impact and contribute right away.”

Fabbri, the Blues’ first-round pick that year (21st overall), was traded to the Wings Wednesday for Jacob de la Rose.
