Power recorded two assists and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over Florida.

Power set up Ryan McLeod's and Tage Thompson's goals while logging a team-high 26:31 of ice time, in part due to Rasmus Dahlin's upper-body injury. Power is up to six assists on the season and should remain on Buffalo's top power-play unit heading into Tuesday's matchup with Montreal.

Dahlin (upper body) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Montreal, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Dahlin suffered an upper-body injury during Monday's matchup against the Panthers, and he won't travel with the Sabres ahead of the second half of the back-to-back set. Head coach Lindy Ruff said that Dahlin is considered day-to-day, so the 26-year-old's next opportunity to return will be Thursday in Toronto, though it's not yet clear whether he'll be deemed healthy enough to suit up.

Jones set up both of Sam Reinhart's goals in Monday's 5-3 loss to Buffalo.

Jones logged 23:55 of ice time, including over four minutes on the power play, and picked up his first assists of the year. The two-helper showing was a nice step for a blueliner who entered the night with just one point in five games to open the year. Given his heavy power-play usage, Jones should start producing more consistently in the future.

Ralph was recalled from AHL Springfield on Monday, per PuckPedia.

Ralph hasn't earned a point in four minor-league appearances this season. The 21-year-old defender won't join St. Louis for the team's upcoming three-game road trip, which begins against Ottawa on Tuesday, according to Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Ralph is with the Blues temporarily for salary cap purposes.

Dahlin won't return to Monday's game against the Panthers due to an upper-body injury.

Dahlin had a productive start to Monday's matchup, recording a goal on four shots, as well as a blocked shot, in 9:06 of ice time. He saw some playing time early in the second period but departed the bench area and was ruled out shortly after. The severity of his injury isn't yet clear, and whether the issue will impact his availability for Tuesday's game against Montreal remains to be seen.

Grans was placed on waivers Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Grans was a healthy scratch in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Carolina after he blocked one shot in 12:26 of ice time in Saturday's 5-1 defeat against Boston. If he clears waivers, the 24-year-old blueliner will probably report to AHL Lehigh Valley.

Van Riemsdyk (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Van Riemsdyk wasn't expected to be with the team when it left for its four-game road trip, so his placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise. Still, head coach Dan Muse did leave the door open to the blueliner linking up with the team at a later date. Considering the 35-year-old New Jersey native is pointless in five games this year, few fantasy managers will be anxiously awaiting his return to the lineup.

Van Riemsdyk (lower body) will not be with the team when it leaves for a four-game road trip, Josh Getzoff of SportsNet Pittsburgh reports Monday.

While van Riemsdyk won't be with the club when it heads to Chicago for Tuesday's matchup, head coach Dan Muse didn't rule out the possibility that the defenseman could join up eventually. Without the 35-year-old blueliner in the lineup, Spencer Stastney should continue to pair up with Kris Letang.

Bogosian (lower body) is available for Monday's game against Vegas, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Bogosian missed Saturday's matchup against the Panthers due to a lower-body injury, but he's been cleared to return following a one-game absence. Across his first four regular-season appearances, he's been held scoreless with two blocked shots, two PIM and a hit while averaging 16:02 of ice time.

Sanderson (lower body) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Devils, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Sanderson exited the Senators' Opening Night matchup against Toronto due to a lower-body injury, and he'll be sidelined for a fifth consecutive game during the first half of a back-to-back set Monday. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next opportunity to do so will be Tuesday against the Blues.
