Rasmus Dahlin News

Dahlin missed Sunday's game in Columbus but was back on the ice for Tuesday's practice and is expected to be in the lineup in Montreal. Dahlin enters play on a five-game point streak, scoring one goal with four assists.

Dahlin will come out of the lineup on Sunday, so look for Robert Hagg to draw into the lineup to replace him. Henri Jokiharju should take over on PP1 with Dahlin sidelined.

Dahlin was back on the ice for Sunday's practice and is expected to play Monday vs. the Islanders. Dahlin being activated is huge for the Sabres' blueline, who could be without Jake McCabe, Brandon Montour and Rasmus Ristolainen, who all remain on the list.

Dahlin missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but will play tonight in New York. Dahlin has posted nine points (1G / 8A) in his last 10 games.

Dahlin will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury and remains day-to-day. He has not been ruled out for tomorrow's game in New York.

The Sabres will be without their top defenseman when they host the Avalanche on Tuesday night. Zach Bogosian is expected to draw into the lineup to replace Dahlin and Colin Miller could see more power-play time.

Dahlin has missed the last eight games with a concussion that he suffered on November 25th but could play Thursday vs. the Predators. Dahlin skated on the top-pair and top power-play unit in Wednesday's practice but head coach Ralph Kruger would not commit to him playing tonight.

Dahlin was elbowed in the head by Erik Cernak on Monday and was forced to leave the game and was immediately diagnosed with a concussion. As expected, the Sabres announced that he is out indefinitely prior to Wednesday's game, so don't expect him to play for at least the rest of this week.

Dahlin was the first overall pick at this year’s draft and will be on the Sabres’ blueline this year. Dahlin is one of the biggest defensive prospects the NHL has seen in recent years and he immediately improves Buffalo’s back-end. The 18-year-old had seven goals and 13 assists (20 points) in 41 games with Frolunda HC last season and has the ability to be a double-digit goal-scorer with 20-plus assists in his rookie season.

Dahlin is the can’t miss prospect of this year’s draft. He has the size of Victor Hedman, the skating of Erik Karlsson and makes the game look simple like Nicklas Lidstrom. The 18-year-old had seven goals and 13 assists (20 points) in 41 games with Frolunda in Sweden’s top league. He picked up six assists in seven games during the World Juniors as well. He’ll be on the Buffalo blueline in 2019.
