The Detroit Red Wings signed forward Robby Fabbri to a three-year extension carrying an average annual value of $4 million, the team announced Monday.
Fabbri has registered eight goals and six assists in 28 games this season while averaging 16:59 per contest. His underlying numbers are a bit of a mixed bag:

Fabbri was chosen 21st overall by the St. Louis Blues at the 2014 NHL Draft. After four injury-riddled years in St. Louis, Detroit acquired him in November 2019 in exchange for forward Jacob de La Rose.
The 25-year-old's current contract carries a $2.95-million cap hit. He was set to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end. The new deal kicks in 2022-23.
Fabbri is now the only player in the Red Wings organization that's signed through at least the 2024-25 campaign.
