>>Fabbri Played Three Shifts After Suffering Concussion

Robby Fabbri had a promising start to his NHL career for the St. Louis Blues when the 19-year-old scored the game-winning goal in his pro debut last week. Unfortunately for Fabbri and the Blues, he is currently sidelined with a concussion after he was hit in the head by Minnesota's Chris Porter on Saturday night.

Hitchcock said quote- "We're going to miss Robby. I was surprised about the concussion because he had three great shifts after the concussion."

Fabbri was the Blues' first-round pick, No. 20 overall, in 2014. With him sidelined it's expected that veterans Scottie Upshall or Scott Gomez, both of whom were in Blues camp on tryout deals, will get an opportunity in the lineup.
