  • Rasmus Asplund: Not given qualifying offer

    Asplund wasn't given a qualifying offer by the Predators on Friday, so he'll become an unrestricted free agent, John Glennon of NHL.com reports.

    Asplund was dealt from the Sabres to the Predators at the trade deadline for a 2025 seventh-round pick, but he went pointless in 19 games with Nashville. He did, however, manage two goals and six assists in 27 games with Buffalo before the trade.

  • Predators' Rasmus Asplund: Not playing Saturday

    Asplund (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Kings.

  • Predators' Rasmus Asplund: Traded to Predators

    Asplund was dealt to Nashville from Buffalo on Friday in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick.

    Asplund has two goals and eight points in 27 games while averaging 11:20 of ice time with the Sabres this season. The 25-year-old frequently served as a healthy scratch with Buffalo, but he'll get a fresh opportunity in Nashville.

  • Sabres' Rasmus Asplund: Draws back in

    Asplund returned to the lineup Saturday against Minnesota after being a healthy scratch for six straight games.

    Asplund, who spent most of the contest alongside Tyson Jost and Jack Quinn, got a chance to play because Dylan Cozens (undisclosed) was unavailable. If Cozens is good to go Wednesday versus Carolina, Asplund is likely to return to the press box. The 25-year-old Swede has recorded two goals and six assists in 26 appearances this season.

  • Sabres' Rasmus Asplund: Two helpers in big win

    Asplund collected two assists in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Kings.

    Buffalo did all its scoring in a dominant third period, with Asplund having a hand in the team's second and sixth tallies. It's his first multi-point effort since Oct. 22 and first point of any kind since Nov. 10, as injuries have limited the 25-year-old to just seven games over that scoreless stretch. On the season, Asplund has two goals and eight points through 20 contests, and his lack of power-play time or a spot in the top six limits his fantasy ceiling, even in an explosive Sabres offense.

    Asplund is available to return from his upper-body injury, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

  • Sabres' Rasmus Asplund: Won't play Friday

    Asplund (upper body) is expected to miss Friday's game against New Jersey, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

  • Sabres' Rasmus Asplund: Scores late in win

    Asplund scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 8-3 win over the Red Wings.

    Asplund had been a healthy scratch in the last two games, but he replaced Vinnie Hinostroza in the lineup Monday. Asplund didn't do much until scoring in the final minute of the blowout win, earning his first goal of the year. He's added three assists, nine shots on net and a plus-7 rating in seven appearances as mainly a bottom-six option.

  • Sabres' Rasmus Asplund: Notches two helpers

    Asplund posted two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.

    Asplund helped out on both of Victor Olofsson's third-period tallies. After a slow start to the year, Asplund has responded well to a move up to the second line. He now has three assists, a plus-6 rating and five shots on net in five contests, though he's not exactly proven as a top-six forward yet.

  • Sabres' Rasmus Asplund: Sets up empty-netter

    Asplund produced an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

The assist was his first point in four games to go with a plus-4 rating, four shots on net and a hit.

  • Sabres' Rasmus Asplund: Shifting to center

    Asplund is projected to start the regular season as Buffalo's fourth-line center, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Asplund has been a winger for the majority of his NHL career, but he feels comfortable with the change because he has played the position before. The switch will also allow the Sabres to move Zemgus Girgensons to the wing. Asplund notched eight goals and 27 points in 80 games during the 2021-22 season.
