Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Goalless to open season
Rasmus Dahlin has yet to score a goal this season despite registering 10 shots through five games.Dahlin put up five shots in Wednesday's 6-5 defeat to the Penguins, so it's possible a goal is right around the corner for the blueliner. The fact that he's managed just one assist as well during this five-game stretch is no doubt a concern for fantasy players. Unless he can turn things around quickly, he may not be able to repeat last season's 20-goal, 59-point performance.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Cleared for contact
Rasmus Dahlin (undisclosed) joined the Buffalo Sabres on the ice Wednesday without wearing a non-contact jersey.Dahlin missed Tuesday's preseason contest against Pittsburgh, but he seems to be making progress. Perhaps he'll be in action versus Red Bull Munchen on Friday, but of course, there's no reason for Buffalo to rush him during training camp, so it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up missing additional exhibition action.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Out again Tuesday
Rasmus Dahlin (undisclosed), as expected, won't play in Tuesday's preseason clash with Pittsburgh, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.Dahlin was a long shot to appear in Tuesday's tilt after sitting out against the Blue Jackets on Monday. At this point, the team seems to be taking a precautionary approach to the blueliner's recovery timeline. There have been no indications Dahlin won't be ready for Opening Night -- though he will have less time to recover than the rest of the league due to the Buffalo Sabres' participation in the Global Series in Czechia against New Jersey on Oct. 4/5.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Won't play against Jackets
Rasmus Dahlin (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup versus Columbus on Monday.Dahlin seems unlikely to play in Tuesday's clash with the Penguins given the quick turnaround, but the fact that he was back skating with the non-game group Monday could leave the door open. At this point, there is no reason to suspect the blueliner won't be ready for Opening Night against the Devils on Oct. 4, but he may need to shake off some rust if he doesn't get much action in the preseason.

Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Hurt during practice
Rasmus Dahlin left Wednesday's practice before its conclusion due to an undisclosed injury, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.Dahlin was hurt while attempting to make a pass. It's not known yet how significant the injury is, but Dahlin is a huge part of Buffalo's blue line, so if he misses time in the regular season, that would naturally leave a significant hole for the Buffalo Sabres to deal with. In that scenario, Henri Jokiharju might see an increase in even-strength ice time while Bowen Byram or Owen Power would move up to the first power-play unit.
