Kulfan: For Suter and Fabbri, it’s an on-ice reunion

The Detroit News’s Ted Kulfan notes that Red Wings free agent signing Pius Suter and forward Robby Fabbri have been reunited on ice, as the pair played together in the Ontario Hockey League for the Guelph Storm:

[Red Wings coach Jeff] Blashill has had Suter and Fabbri together through training camp (Vrana was expected to complete the line), hoping the two can find their junior hockey chemistry.

“It’s been good to get on the ice with him in camp,” Fabbri said. “It’s going to be fun playing with him. Brings back memories.”

Suter, who the Wings signed as an unrestricted free agent in July, noted how the chemistry is returning in time through practices and continually being on the ice.

“We played a few games way back in Guelph, but it’s been a while,” Suter said. “As time goes on, every practice you kind of feel how he thinks, how I think, how we’re going to play it out. The more you play together the more you’re going to read off each other better, so with every game it’s going to improve. He’s a quick, smart player, so I don’t think it will take us too long.”
