Dahlin was activated from the COVID-19 list and is expected to play on Monday.

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 (concussion) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

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 is out indefinitely with a concussion.

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.

The Sabres signed Rasmus Dahlin to a three-year, entry-level contract.

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.

The Sabres have selected Rasmus Dahlin with the No.1 overall pick.

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.
