Blues’ Fabbri Claimed Off Waivers; Oilers’ Mangiapane, Regula Clear Waivers

The Minnesota Wild has made a significant move by claiming forward Robby Fabbri off waivers from the St. Louis Blues. The 30-year-old Fabbri carries a cap hit of $775,000 for the current season and is a pending unrestricted free agent. This season, he has participated in only 15 NHL games, netting one goal and three assists.

In addition to his NHL performance, Fabbri has recorded one goal and one assist in just three games with the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers. Throughout his career, he has accumulated 107 goals and 113 assists over 457 games played with the Blues, Detroit Red Wings, and Anaheim Ducks.

He has recorded seven goals and 14 points.
