Fabbri, 26, has 17 goals and 30 points in 56 games with the Red Wings in 2021–22. Earlier this year, the Red Wings re-signed Fabbri to a three-year contract extension worth $4 million per season.
The Red Wings placed Fabbri on injured reserve on Friday afternoon and subsequently recalled forward @Taro Hirose from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League.
Without Fabbri in their lineup, the Red Wings will return to action on Mar. 12 to take on the Calgary Flames.
