Rasmus Dahlin - NHL News & Rumors

Good to play Dahlin (upper body) is expected to be fine for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Impact Dahlin missed Buffalo's past three games because of the injury. He has two goals and four points in six appearances this season. Now that he's healthy, Dahlin is expected to serve in a top-four capacity, while Dennis Gilbert is projected to be a healthy scratch versus the Flyers.

Targeting Wednesday return Dahlin (upper body) told reporters he "thinks he'll be ready" for Wednesday's clash with Philadelphia.

Impact Dahlin would be making his first appearance since Oct. 12 versus the Panthers, a stretch of three games on the shelf due to his upper-body problem. Prior to getting hurt, the 26-year-old blueliner registered two goals and two assists, including a pair of power-play points, in six contests.

Ruled out for Saturday's matchup Dahlin (upper body) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Canadiens, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.

Impact Head coach Lindy Ruff said Thursday that Dahlin was 50/50 to play Saturday, but the 26-year-old won't travel with the team to Montreal. However, Ruff said Friday that Dahlin is progressing, so it seems possible that he'll be in consideration to return Wednesday against the Flyers. Across six appearances to begin the regular season, Dahlin has recorded two goals, two assists, 14 blocked shots, eight hits and two PIM while averaging 23:38 of ice time.

Deemed 50/50 for Saturday Dahlin (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's clash against the Maple Leafs and is considered to be questionable for Saturday's game in Montreal, per Paul Hamilton of WGR S...

Impact Head coach Lindy Ruff stated that Dahlin is a 50/50 to play in Saturday's clash, which ultimately rules him out for the Sabres' matchup on Thursday. The 26-year-old Dahlin is slated to miss his second consecutive game Thursday after compiling two goals, four points, 19 shots on net, eight hits and 14 blocked shots across six appearances to begin the 2026-27 campaign. If he's given the green light for Saturday, he'll likely return to the Sabres' top pairing, where he's been an elite fantasy option thus far.

Impact Dahlin suffered an upper-body injury during Monday's matchup against the Panthers, and he won't travel with the Sabres ahead of the second half of the back-to-back set. Head coach Lindy Ruff said that Dahlin is considered day-to-day, so the 26-year-old's next opportunity to return will be Thursday in Toronto, though it's not yet clear whether he'll be deemed healthy enough to suit up.

Among NHL's best defenders Dahlin scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over Chicago.

Impact Dahlin is one of the best goal-scoring defenders in the NHL. He's fifth overall in that category in the last three seasons (37), behind Cale Makar (51), Jacob Chychrun (47), Zach Werenski (45) and Evan Bouchard (39). Dahlin is also sixth overall in points in that same span with 143. He's coming off a third-place finish in Norris trophy voting last season, the highest finish ever for a Buffalo defender. Dahlin's 74 points (19 goals, 55 assists) established a new career high for the 26-year-old.
