Which St. Louis Blues player also played for the Detroit Red Wings? NHL Immaculate Grid answers for August 30

The NHL Immaculate Grid has been a fun and challenging game for hockey fans to test their knowledge. The grid on Aug. 30 requires participants to name a player who has played for both the St. Louis Blues and the Detroit Red Wings.

The Blues have been in the NHL since 1967 while the Red Wings are one of the original six teams, so both franchises have plenty of history.

One player who has played for both franchises is Robby Fabbri. The Canadian was drafted 21st overall by the St. Louis Blues in 2014. He made his NHL debut during the 2015-16 season and played 72 games in his rookie season. Fabbri then spent the next three years with the Blues, including winning the Stanley Cup in 2019. With St. Louis, Fabbri played in 164 games and recorded 73 points.

Fabbri began the 2019-20 season with the Blues but was traded nine games into the season to the Detroit Red Wings. With Detroit, Fabbri has skated in 166 games, recorded 95 points, and is under contract for two more seasons.
