As the St. Louis Blues get set to face off against the Nashville Predators, it will be the re-debut of Robby Fabbri. He just signed a one-year deal on Wednesday and will be on the third line with Dalibor Dvorsky and Pius Suter.

But what number will he be wearing? Will he be returning to his roots with #15, as it is currently open? Or, does he have something else in mind for the second time around?

Let's take a look.

Rocking No. 9

The last member of the Blues to wear the nine on their sweater was recently terminated, Alexandre Texier. But, as you can see from the tweet, he has a long history with the number, and current assistant coach and long-time Blues forward Steve Ott was wearing it back when Fabbri was drafted.

Having his original number from Juniors, and being able to return to the place that gave him his initial shot in the NHL, is going to be a great thing for Fabbri. He will be a must-see against Nashville, and could be a big confidence booster for this struggling Blues offense.
