Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Records first point of 2025-26
Rotowire
Dahlin accounted for an even-strength assist, four PIM and four shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 loss to Colorado.
Dahlin is off to a sluggish start on the season, as this was his first point in three games. The star defenseman logged a game-high 27:19 of ice time but had five giveaways, so he'll look to clean up that area of his game in Wednesday's home matchup against the Senators. Dahlin is skating in his usual top-pairing role while quarterbacking the No. 1 power-play unit.
Dahlin logged two assists and four shots on goal in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Lightning.
Dahlin set up a power-play goal by Alex Tuch and an even-strength tally from Sam Lafferty, with both goals coming in the third period. This was Dahlin's fifth multi-point effort over the last seven games, a span in which he has four goals and seven helpers. The defenseman is up to 68 points (17 goals, 51 assists), 196 shots on net, 97 hits, 97 blocked shots, 54 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 71 appearances. That point total ranks fourth among all blueliners, so it's possible Dahlin gets a little Norris Trophy consideration, though he's far from a lock to be a finalist.
