The incident occurred mid-way through the second period of Wednesday’s Hurricanes win. As McGinn skates into the zone on the forecheck, Fabbro hits him hard into the boards with his elbow. McGinn was slow to get up but was able to stay in the game while Fabbro was given a two-minute minor for elbowing.

Fabbro will miss Thursday’s rematch with the Hurricanes and Saturday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
