Exits game with lower-body injury Fabbro (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Lightning.
Impact Fabbro was on the receiving end of a knee-on-knee hit from Conor Geekie in the second period. It's unclear if Fabbro will be forced to miss time beyond the end of Tuesday's contest. If he does, the Blue Jackets may need to call up a defenseman, as Jack Johnson (eye) is also unavailable.

Slides helper in loss Fabbro notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.
Impact Fabbro set up Sean Monahan's third-period goal. The helper snapped a four-game dry spell for Fabbro, who has maintained a top-four role despite the downturn on offense. He's up to seven points this year, all of which have come over 14 games with the Blue Jackets after he had six scoreless outings with the Predators before being waived. He's added 26 shots on net, 34 blocked shots, 16 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-10 rating.

Nets game-winner against Chicago Fabbro scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Fabbro's third-period tally stood as the game-winner. The Blue Jackets leaned heavily on their top-four blueliners Sunday, though that's been pretty common lately. Fabbro has exceeded 22 minutes of ice time in seven straight contests. He's up to three goals and six points, as well as a plus-14 rating, over nine outings with Columbus after being held without a point across six games for Nashville to start the season. Fabbro offers a little all-around production, so he's worth a look in deeper fantasy formats and is trending upward.

Pots goal Saturday Fabbro scored a goal, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Hurricanes.
Impact Fabbro is up to two goals and two assists over six appearances since the Blue Jackets claimed him off waivers from the Predators. The 26-year-old defenseman has been able to hold a top-four role in Columbus after being a frequent scratch in Nashville. Those four points account for all of his offense through 12 outings this season, and he's added 17 shots on net, 10 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. Fabbro has at least short-term appeal in fantasy, especially with a fairly favorable run of opponents over the next 10 days (Montreal, Chicago and Calgary twice).

Pots first goal for Columbus Fabbro scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens.
Impact The former Predator ruined Sam Montembeault's shutout bid midway through the second period, blasting a shot from the point through heavy traffic, but it was all the offense the Jackets could muster. Fabbro has two points in three games since joining Columbus on waivers, and he even saw some power-play shifts Saturday as he gets a look as Zach Werenski's partner on the blue line.

Claimed by Columbus Fabbro was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jackets, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Fabbro will get another chance in the NHL after he was waived by Nashville on Saturday. The 26-year-old blueliner failed to record a point in six games with the Preds this season after logging 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) last year. Fabbro figures to step into a top-four role in Columbus.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
On waivers Fabbro was put on waivers by the Predators on Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Impact Fabbro was selected with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, and for a time it looked like he had successfully established himself as a part of the Predators' blue line, recording 24 points in 66 regular-season outings in 2021-22 followed by 11 points, 50 PIM, 113 hits and 129 blocks across 79 regular-season appearances in 2022-23. However, he logged just 56 regular-season games last campaign, and the 26-year-old has dipped even more this year. He has no points, a minus-3 rating, one hit and seven blocks across six outings in 2024-25 while averaging just 13:06 of ice time. The defenseman has also been a healthy scratch in each of the Predators' past five games. Given his $2.5 million cap hit, Fabbro will likely go unclaimed and subsequently be reassigned to the AHL Milwaukee.

Struggling to stay in lineup Fabbro was scratched for the fourth time in the Predators' first 10 games when he sat out Thursday versus the Oilers.
Impact Fabbro is often listed on the top pairing, but he's exceeded 15 minutes of ice time in just two of his six appearances. He's added seven shots on net, a minus-3 rating and seven blocked shots, but he's yet to record a point. Fabbro is competing with Marc Del Gaizo for the last spot on the blue line.

Ready to rock Fabbro (upper body) will return to the lineup Saturday against the Avalanche, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.
Impact After missing the past seven games, Fabbro will be paired with Roman Josi on Saturday's contest. The 25-year-old Fabbro has two goals, 12 points and 83 blocked shots in 53 appearances this season.

Sidelined for three weeks Fabbro (upper body) will miss two or three weeks after leaving Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Fabbro has played in 53 games for the Predators this year, recording two goals and 10 assists. The 25-year-old will look to be back in time for the playoffs as the Predators currently hold the number one wild card spot. He will be a valuable defensive piece come playoff time as he's recorded 43 hits and 83 blocked shots.
MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE
Injured Sunday Fabbro (upper body) will not return to Sunday's game against the Wild.
Impact Fabbro blocked two shots in 3:28 of ice time prior to leaving the contest. The 25-year-old has two points with a plus-9 rating over his last 12 games. An update on his status should be available before Wednesday's matchup against the Jets.
MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE
Agrees to one-year contract Fabbro signed a one-year contract extension with the Predators on Friday, per Predators Radio Host Max Herz.
Impact Fabbro has two goals, 12 points, 43 hits and 79 blocks in 51 outings in 2023-24. He was eligible to become a restricted free agent with arbitration rights this summer, but this signing will allow Nashville to avoid that outcome.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Supplies pair of assists Fabbro notched two assists, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Fabbro snapped a five-game point drought with the pair of helpers. Sunday's effort doubled his point total in 2024. The 25-year-old defenseman has two goals, 10 helpers, 51 shots on net, 43 hits, 71 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 46 appearances. Fabbro has exceeded the 11 points he recorded in 79 outings a season ago, but he's only worth streaming in DFS when he's paired with Roman Josi.
FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Gets rare start Saturday Fabbro returned from a three-game stint as a healthy scratch in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blues, but failed to crack the scoresheet in 17:09 of ice time.
Impact Fabbro's presence in the lineup is too unpredictable these days to be able to count on him for fantasy production. Throw in his low scoring totals (2G, 8A in 42 games), and it's really hard to recommend him outside of very deep leagues. The 25-year-old defender posted a career-best 24 points two seasons ago, but it's difficult to imagine him getting back to that level anytime soon.
FEBRUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE
Nabs assist in shootout win Fabbro produced an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Capitals.
Impact Fabbro had gone four games without a point, and he has just three helpers over 10 outings in December. The 25-year-old has found steadier playing time with Tyson Barrie (upper body) unavailable since the holiday break ended. Fabbro should be able to hold onto a third-pairing role for a while. He's at eight points, 31 shots on net, 21 hits, 43 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 28 appearances -- that's not enough offense to create much intrigue in fantasy.
DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Scoring woes continue Fabbro failed to crack the scoresheet in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers, his third game back in the lineup following a three-game absence as a healthy scratch.
Impact Fabbro recorded a career-high 24 points two seasons ago with the Preds, but took a step back last season with just 11 points in 79 games. Currently with just five points in 19 games this season, Fabbro doesn't move the fantasy needle enough to warrant much consideration outside of ultra-deep leagues.
