Restricted free agent Robby Fabbri 'couldn't be happier' with Red Wings, wants to stay

Detroit – Robby Fabbri has been through this before. Twice, actually. So Fabbri understands how to get through a long period of time without playing hockey.

Fabbri suffered serious knee injuries to his left ACL, during consecutive years in 2017-18, which cost Fabbri 20 months of hockey during rehabilitation.

No hockey, no skating. So now, as the pandemic has snuffed the Red Wings’ season, and pushed back next season until December or January, Fabbri knows to handle the pause better than most.

“I was off for quite a while,” Fabbri told The Detroit News, talking about his knee woes from February 2017 to October 2018.
