Robby Fabbri - Making most of playing timeFabbri boasts a team-high shooting percentage (26.5), and with nine goals and seven assists through 26 games, he's matched his point total from an injury-shortened 2022-23 campaign...
ImpactFabbri has already worked his way past three ACL surgeries, and this season he's sustained less severe injuries to his lower body and face, but the poster boy for perseverance hasn't missed a game in close to two months. Fabbri's banked three game-winning goals and he skates on the No. 2 power-play unit as an added bonus for fantasy managers looking for a productive scorer on a per-minute basis. The veteran winger is producing 2.7 points per 60 minutes of play, which is a career high through nine years of service time.

ImpactThe 22-year-old had been sidelined for the first three months of the campaign with the injury. Russell signed his entry-level contract in May of 2022. He played just two games last season with ECHL Wichita, but he'll nonetheless move up one level in 2023-24.

Alex Lyon - Slated to face KingsLyon is expected to start in Thursday's road game against LA, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
ImpactLyon has won two of his last three starts, but he's also surrendered 10 goals on 86 shots (.884 save percentage) over that stretch. He's 6-4-0 with a 2.53 GAA and a .917 save percentage in 10 contests this season. The Kings rank 10th offensively this year with 3.38 goals per game, so this might be a difficult matchup for Lyon.

Andrew Copp - Questionable for ThursdayCopp is battling a lower-body injury and is questionable for Thursday's game against LA, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday.
ImpactThe plan is for Copp to skate Thursday morning before his status for the contest against the Kings is determined. If he can't play, then Detroit might dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen, including Jeff Petry, who was a healthy scratch Tuesday. Copp has five goals and 17 points in 38 appearances in 2023-24.
