Robby Fabbri

six games missed from October 13-24 (concussion)

Now that the Blues have dealt with so many injuries during 2015-16 and rookie Robby Fabbri has been one of the few offensive constants, it’s easy to forget that the then-19-year-old missed six games near the start of the season after suffering a concussion in the season’s first road game at Minnesota. Fabbri was the first domino to fall in a miserable early-season string of injuries that went on to include Kevin Shattenkirk, Paul Stastny, and Jaden Schwartz.

It’s almost a surprise that the 5-foot-10, 180-pound Fabbri hasn’t been more susceptible to injuries during his rookie season, but his durability since the concussion has been a major plus for the club. After just 50 NHL games, Fabbri is tied for fourth among Blues players with 11 goals this season, and he’s also contributed 11 assists.
