Fabbro (upper body) could be in danger of missing Opening Night against the Sabres on Oct. 1, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Wednesday.

Fabbro's recovery is reportedly not going as quickly as the team had hoped, raising doubts regarding his availability for the season opener. With Damon Severson (shoulder) also working his way back from injury, the absence of Fabbro could create a significant gap on the Jackets' blue line.
