Robby Fabbri
St. Louis Blues Center
Sixteen points in 44 games in Anaheim, and a career that has now lost most of five seasons to knees.

This Season So Far
The 2025-26 season has not started. The empty row above is his, and both it and this paragraph fill in on their own from the morning after he first plays: what he has done, what it is worth against his own last season, and the run he is on when the two disagree.
Last Season
8 goals and 8 assists in 44 games for Anaheim — 16 points at 16:12 a night, minus-6, with 20 penalty minutes.
He has now played more than 60 games in a season three times in nine years. The talent has never been in question and the availability has been the whole story.
The Finesse Game
65 attempts and 8 goals at 12.3 per cent. The hands in a small space are genuinely good and always have been.
8 assists in 44 games. He plays a quick, north-south game and he is at his best on a line that gives him the puck at speed, which at 29 and on a fourth line he no longer regularly gets.
The Physical Game
5-11 and 185 and light. He does not forecheck with force and he is not going to win a battle against a defenceman.
20 penalty minutes in 44 games. He takes contact to make a play and he does not answer any of it, which given the injury record is a sensible arrangement.
The Intangibles
Twenty-first overall in 2014 by St. Louis, and he tore the same knee twice before he was 23 — the second of them cost him an entire season and the club traded him a year later.
442 games and 216 points across three organisations. He is 29 and St. Louis signed him in the summer, ten years after drafting him.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe report ranks him 33 points above where the numbers do. It was written for a back edition, with the seasons that followed already known. Neither the agreement nor the gap says anything about the eye, and this report is excluded from the club-level comparison for the same reason. Why the numbers land there sets out the club he did it on, the minutes he played and the men he played them with.
Both bars are percentiles among the 637 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 70 on their own scale — against every other report's mean. The numbers bar ranks his share of expected goals. A gap is a disagreement about where he belongs, not two scales talking past each other.

Share of his five-on-five ice time spent alongside each player, measured from shift charts. Special teams are excluded: a power-play unit is not a line.
Why the numbers land there
Five-on-five, 2024-25
- The club
- ANA took 44.6% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 40.0% — 4.6 below the club he did it on.
- The role
- Third line, 610 minutes at five-on-five — 23rd percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mason McTavish | 41.6% | 36.9% | 46.4% |
| Cutter Gauthier | 41.6% | 37.6% | 48.9% |
| Brian Dumoulin | 40.6% | 39.7% | 43.8% |
41.6% together, 36.9% for him apart and 46.4% for McTavish apart. He was the one being carried: the share went with McTavish and did not follow him.
Expected-goal share while both were on the ice, and for each man in the minutes he played without the other. Apart is the pair subtracted from his own totals. It does not settle who was carrying whom — apart from each other, both were still playing with somebody — but it does say whether the share travelled when the pairing broke up.
Where he shoots from
goal on goal missed
84 unblocked shots in 2024-25, 8 of them goals. His median goal came from 22 feet. 35% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 14% from beyond forty.
