Sabres’ Dahlin ‘seems fine’ after painful shot block
Captain Rasmus Dahlin appears to have avoided an injury despite missing the end of Wednesday’s Game 1 win over the Montreal Canadiens.
Dahlin blocked a shot from Montreal’s Jake Evans with three minutes to play in the game and was in some discomfort as he skated off the ice. He didn’t take another shift as the Sabres held on for a 4-2 win.
After the game, head coach Lindy Ruff told reporters that Dahlin “seems fine,” but the coach added that he had not spoken to medical staff yet.
Dahlin was plus-one in just over 21 minutes of ice time in the win. He has four points in the playoffs after finishing second on the team with 74 points during the regular season.
Game 2 between the Sabres and Canadiens is set for Friday night in Buffalo. Coverage on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ begins at 6:30 p.m. ET/ 3:30 p.m. PT.
