Fabbro was assessed a two-minute minor for elbowing. The 22-year-old is fourth among Predators defensemen in average ice time and has collected nine points in 26 games.
McGinn was able to stay in the game. He plays a bottom-six role for Carolina but has been highly effective this season, tallying seven goals and five assists in 25 contests.
This is the first time Fabbro has been suspended or fined in his 94-game NHL career.
