The Ducks have acquired left wing/center Robby Fabbri and a conditional 2025 fourth-round selection from the Detroit Red Wings for goaltender Gage Alexander. Anaheim will receive the earlier of Detroit’s own fourth-round pick in 2025 or Boston’s fourth-round pick in 2025 (previously acquired by Detroit March 2, 2023).
