Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin (upper body) was present at Monday's morning skate and looks ready to play against the Maple Leafs.

Rasmus Dahlin Listed As Day-To-Day

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury. The star blue-liner put in a massive 27-minute shift Saturday against the Rangers, but it looks like he also hurt himself a bit in the game and might now be unavailable for Monday's contest against Washington.
