No Robby Fabbri, no problem.
Kenny Agostino, who St. Louis Blues head coach Mike Yeo hoped would help offset Fabbri's season-ending knee injury, did just that in his first game with the club Monday night.
It was Agostino's first goal as a member of the Blues in his first game after being recalled from the AHL, where he led the league with 42 assists and 60 points in 48 contests.
Yeo put him on the Blues' second line with Jori Lehtera and David Perron, and both linemates earned assists on Agostino's goal.
Agostino was a fifth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2010 who also spent time in the Calgary Flames organization.
The Blues beat the Flyers 2-0.
