Robby Fabbri has impressed during training camp and preseason play and it looks like his strong play will be rewarded. By all appearances, the 19-year-old should make the opening night roster barring a major surprise.
Hitch says he really liked the look of those lines today. Looking more and more like we'll see Fabbri in the lineup opening night. #stlblues

The lines referred to in the Tweet above featured Fabbri skating on the second line with Jori Lehtera and Jaden Schwartz. The fact Fabbri might make the second line out of camp should speak volumes of what the Blues are seeing from the rookie.
Here’s a full look at the other combinations:

Steen-Stastny-Tarasenko
Fabbri-Lehtera-Schwartz
Jaskin-Backes-Brouwer

Not too bad. Knowing Hitchcock, there’s bound to be a ton of tinkering of these lines within the first five minutes of opening night, but it’s a pretty good look.
