Robby Fabbri's season is over, and the Detroit Red Wings are left to hope a young player can help fill the void.
Saying he "feels horrible" for Fabbri, coach Jeff Blashill announced Friday, hours before the Wings left for western Canada, "we suspect Fabbs tore his ACL. We're consulting with another specialist just to get a second opinion, but the expectation is he'll miss the remainder of the season."
Fabbri had 17 goals, 13 assists and a minus-23 rating in 56 games. He's manned the second line, and the first power play unit. He injured his right knee during Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild.
