Red Wings' Robby Fabbri: Remains on track for camp
Rotowire
Fabbri is recovering from his fourth knee surgery, though the latest is described as a mere "clean-up" procedure and he'll be ready for training camp, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Fabbri is a model for perseverance, having overcome three prior ACL surgeries and enduring the corresponding rehab efforts. "I'm back training right now," he said. "Obviously, there's no rush in the rehab process right now, but we're slowly ramping it up in the gym, doing everything -- upper body, lower body, biking -- and the knee's feeling good, so we're in a good spot." Fabbri -- who didn't start the 2022-23 campaign until Jan. 4 -- produced seven goals and nine assists in 28 games before getting shut down again in late March.

Red Wings' Robby Fabbri: Officially shut down
Rotowire
The Red Wings announced Wednesday that Fabbri (lower body) will undergo season-ending surgery, but he's expected to be ready for training camp next fall.
Fabbri is facing a 4-to-6-week recovery timeline, which should give him plenty of time to get healthy prior to camp. Unfortunately for the winger, he was limited to just 28 games in 2022-23. When healthy, the Ontario native produced seven goals and nine assists, including eight power-play points. If he can play a full 82-game season -- which he has yet to do -- Fabbri could be capable of producing upwards of 40-plus points.

Red Wings' Robby Fabbri: Good to play Thursday
Rotowire
Fabbri (lower body) is set to play Thursday versus the Rangers, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.
Fabbri was seen limping after blocking a shot late in the third period of Tuesday's game against Washington. That put his availability for Thursday's contest in doubt, but it seems he'll remain in the lineup. Fabbri has seven goals and 14 points in 20 games this season.
Fabbri limped to the locker room after a late blocked shot in Tuesday's game versus the Capitals, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Rotowire
