Rasmus Dahlin - Page 5 - NHL News & Rumors

Two more assists Friday Dahlin logged two assists, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact With six helpers, a plus-7 rating and three blocked shots over his last two games, it looks like Dahlin is back in form after a bout of back spasms cost him eight of nine contests from Dec. 5-21. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to 25 points, 83 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 29 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 28 appearances. Dahlin should benefit from not having any back-to-backs over the next five games, which should help prevent any lingering issues from cropping up.

Collects four helpers in victory Dahlin registered four assists, one shot on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 7-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact Dahlin sat out Saturday's 3-1 loss to Boston after returning from a seven-game absence due to a back issue against Toronto on Friday. The Sabres didn't want him playing in both games of the back-to-back situation, and the additional rest appeared beneficial. Dahlin didn't have a point in five straight outings before breaking out in Monday's win, helping Buffalo end a woeful 13-game losing streak. He has six goals and 17 helpers through 27 appearances this season.

Absence was planned Dahlin's absence from Saturday's 3-1 loss to Boston was planned, according to coach Lindy Ruff. The 24-year-old defenseman returned from a back injury Friday.

Impact Dahlin logged 27:33 of ice time in Friday's 6-3 loss to Toronto, but Ruff didn't want him to play on consecutive days so soon after returning from injury. Dahlin missed seven straight games from Dec. 5-17. He'll presumably be back in the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Islanders, which might result in Jacob Bryson, who logged 13:56 of ice time versus the Bruins, being a healthy scratch.

Late scratch Saturday Dahlin, who returned from a back injury Friday, won't be in the lineup for Saturday's tilt against Boston, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

Impact It's not clear if Dahlin's absence is a sign that he reaggravated his previous injury. This might be an unrelated issue. It's also possible coach Lindy Ruff ultimately decided not to dress Dahlin for a second straight day so soon after returning from injury, though there was no sign that the 24-year-old was having his workload managed when he played Friday -- Dahlin logged 27:33 of ice time in his return, recording five shots and one hit. His absence might push Jacob Bryson back into the lineup.

"We Can't Hang Our Heads" | Rasmus Dahlin After Buffalo Sabres Loss To Toronto Maple Leafs

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • KANSASCITY.COM

Slated to return Friday Dahlin (back) will be available for Friday's matchup against Toronto, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Dahlin has been sidelined since early December due to back spasms, but he's trended in the right direction lately, and head coach Lindy Ruff confirmed Thursday that the 24-year-old blueliner will be back in action for the first half of a back-to-back set Friday. Over his first 25 appearances of the season, Dahlin racked up six goals, 13 assists, 36 blocked shots, 26 hits and 18 PIM while averaging 24:42 of ice time.

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Friday Dahlin (back) is expected to get a full practice Thursday which could clear the way for him to play in Friday's matchup with Toronto, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Based on Dahlin's timeline, he won't be available for Tuesday's clash with Montreal but appears to be making strides in his recovery. The 24-year-old blueliner will be sidelined for his seventh consecutive game due to his back problem. Prior to getting hurt, Dahlin was stuck in a four-game pointless streak, his longest of the 2024-25 campaign.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Skates on his own Friday Per Heather Engel of NHL.com, Dahlin (back) returned to the ice Friday and is progressing, according to coach Lindy Ruff.

Impact Dahlin has been missed on the Sabres blue line as he has four goals and 13 assists, while averaging 24:42 of ice time over 25 games. Dahlin has already missed four games and his return may not be imminent.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on injured reserve Dahlin (back) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Dahlin went through a rehab skate with no issues and could return to game action Saturday against the Capitals or Sunday against the Maple Leafs. The defenseman has been dealing with back spasms since Buffalo's Dec. 3 matchup against the Avalanche, and he could still be in the mix to be activated over the weekend. However, Dahlin's move to injured reserve allowed the Sabres to activate Jordan Greenway (undisclosed) ahead of Monday's game against the Red Wings.

Impact Based on his timeline, Dahlin will be sidelined for at least the Sabres' next two contests as he works his way back from his back injury. Prior to getting hurt, the 24-year-old blueliner was stuck in a four-game pointless streak during which he generated 10 shots, four hits and four blocks while averaging 24:25 of ice time. Once cleared to return, Dahlin will link back up with the No. 1 power-play unit and should eventually break out of his slump. With Jordan Greenway (undisclosed) likely to be activated ahead of Monday's clash with Detroit, Dahlin may have to be designated for injured reserve in order to clear up a roster spot.

Impact Dahlin will be replaced in the lineup by Dennis Gilbert but it's Jacob Bryson who should see the biggest uptick in ice time. On the top power-play unit, Alex Tuch will join up with the No. 1 group in Dahlin's stead. For his part, the 24-year-old Dahlin was stuck in a four-game pointless streak prior to getting hurt and will no have to wait a little before getting a chance to end his slump.
