5. Dante Fabbro’s 19:17 in his Columbus debut was the most he played since last Nov. 18 — 50 games (including playoffs). He needed a fresh start, and gets it with the Blue Jackets.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states “energy is neither created nor destroyed,” so increased ice-time for Fabbro affects someone else. The situation to watch is now with David Jiricek, who played 9:15 and 8:50 his last two games, then sat out Fabbro’s first. There were rocky waters between player and organization last season. And, while I don’t believe new GM Don Waddell would automatically move on from a player he didn’t draft, he wouldn’t have the same attachment as Jarmo Kekalainen. (By the way, congratulations to Kekalainen on being named to Finland’s Hockey Hall of Fame. Great honour.)
