Rasmus Dahlin Notches Three Points In Win Over Washington
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin was one of the catalysts in Tuesday's 6-2 triumph over Washington, completing the contest with a goal and two assists. He scored his 18th goal of the season on the power play and delivered a pair of even-strength assists for his ninth career three-point outing. Dahlin has set a new career high in goals scored this season and is on track for a 60-point campaign, having also collected 38 assists in 75 appearances. However, the Swedish blue-liner has been inconsistent with his work on the offensive end lately, going scoreless in five of his last eight outings.
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin scored the overtime winner as part of his team's come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. He also added an assist on the night alongside a pair of shots on goal. The winner came on the power play 1:42 into the extra frame after Tage Thompson tied the game in the second half of the third period. The tally was Dahlin's 15th of the season, good for a share of first among NHL blueliners alongside the Flames' MacKenzie Weegar. Dahlin has added 31 assists for 46 points across 59 games on the campaign. The 23-year-old broke out with 15 goals and 73 points across 78 games on the season in the 2022-23 campaign while putting 204 shots on goal. With the win, the Sabres improved to 28-28-4 on the season as they sit sixth in the Metropolitan Division.
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin (lower body) will return from a one-game absence Saturday versus Montreal. He was hurt Tuesday against Detroit and couldn't play in Thursday's meeting with Boston, but luckily for the Sabres, Dahlin is good to go again on Saturday. The offensively-gifted blue-liner sits among the team's top scorers with 21 points (six goals, 15 assists) in 26 games. Dahlin averages over 25 minutes of ice time for the season and should also be a busy man against the Canadiens.
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin (lower body) missed Thursday's game against the Boston Bruins and will be a game-time decision on Saturday against the Montreal Canadiens. Dahlin played over 25 minutes on Tuesday, but he suffered an injury at some time during that game and it has apparently gotten worse as time has gone by. The 23-year-old has continued to impress after a breakout campaign last year, notching 21 points (six goals, 15 assists) in 26 games this season as part of Buffalo's first pairing and top powerplay unit. If he misses another game, Owen Power will continue to quarterback the first unit.

He has also racked up peripherals, notching 22 shots, 17 hits, and 20 blocks, making him a big fantasy contributor. He should be a top-five defenseman if he is healthy this year.
Rasmus Dahlin Continues To Close In On Special Record

In nine games this season, Dahlin has added seven assists to his two goals.

Rasmus Dahlin Pleased To Link Up With Connor Clifton
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin is very happy that Connor Clifton is now his teammate, not a pesky opponent. "On the ice, you see his toughness," Dahlin said of Clifton. "I remember playing him in Boston. I was scared of him. I hated to play against him." Clifton likes the physical part of the game a lot, having led the Bruins with 208 hits last season. His defensive stats could be set for a further boost in Buffalo, as Clifton has worked as Dahlin's partner in training camp and should see more ice time with his new team.
Sabres Aiming To Lock Up Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power Long-Term
The Buffalo Sabres are looking to lock up young defensemen Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power to long-term contract extensions. Both blueliners were taken with the No. 1 overall pick in their respective drafts with Dahlin drafted in 2018 and Power in 2021. The 23-year-old Dahlin will look to break the bank on the heels of a 2022-23 campaign that saw him tally a career-high 15 goals, 73 points, a plus-12 rating, 204 shots on goal, and 25:48 in ice time per game. Power, 20, notched four goals and 35 points across 79 games as a rookie last season while averaging 23:48 of average ice time per game, finishing third in Calder Trophy voting in the process. The Sabres have their sights set on the postseason in 2023-24 after finishing just one point shy of the Florida Panthers for the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference a season ago.

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. Dahlin is on a four-game scoring drought but still boasts a very impressive 63 points across 61 games for the season. The team also announced that Dahlin's regular running mate Mattias Samuelsson is week-to-week with an upper-body injury, so Buffalo's blue line could look very different Monday.
