2 months agoBuffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin tallied two helpers during their victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday evening. Dahlin would tally both of his helpers in the final frame. He added the secondary assist on Jiri Kulich's game-tying goal and the primary assist on JJ Peterka's game-winner. The 24-year-old defenseman has continued to log top minutes for the Sabres in all aspects of the game. Over his previous 13 games, he has tallied 15 points (all assists), with six of them coming on the power-play. During this stretch, he has also logged 17 blocks and 17 hits. Dahlin remains a must-start defenseman in all formats, given the ability to contribute offensively and add blocks and hits. He will look to stay hot on Thursday against the Calgary Flames.

4 months agoBuffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin (back) is on track to return to the lineup at the end of the week. He will miss a third straight game on Monday versus Detroit and won't be available on Wednesday against the Rangers. However, according to Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff, Dahlin is progressing and is a candidate to play at the weekend. Buffalo closes out the week with a back-to-back set against Washington and Toronto. Dahlin was placed on Injured Reserve on Monday to activate forward Jordan Greenway (undisclosed). Bowen Byram and Owen Power will continue to play larger roles in the Sabres defense until Dahlin returns.

Back spasms limited Dahlin to only 17:16 of action on Tuesday against Colorado, and he isn't game-ready for Thursday, missing his first contest of the campaign. Dennis Gilbert will take Dahlin's spot in the lineup, with Jacob Bryson projected to replace the Swedish rearguard on the first defensive pairing. Meanwhile, Owen Power will work on the first power-play unit instead of Dahlin.
